Free webmail login software for linux

WebMail is a www-frontend to IMAP/POP3 mailboxes. You can compare it to the systems Hotmail, YahooMail etc use.
Main features:
- gives a user complete access to his POP3 or IMAP mailboxes via an easy-to-use web interface
- neither Java nor Javascript on the Clientside
- runs as Java Servlet (and Servlet 2.2 WebApp)
- pluggable services (IMAP, POP3, ...) through the Java Mail API
- configurable looknfeel through templates
- user configurable mailboxes: each folder may be on a different IMAP host
- sophisticated folder support
- support for multiple languages
- MIME support: images, html- and textfiles are shown via the webbrowser (configurable), all other files may be downloaded with a click
- fancy mail formatting: link highlighting, umlaut conversion, "smiley-substitution"
- Very fast compared to CGI scripts
- Modular concept with plugin support
- Easy administration (webinterface) and installation

NS WebMail project is a simple set of PERL scripts, it works using module Mail::POP3Client, and allows to send and receive MIME compliant mails.
The whole thing is "secured" using POP3 authentication, ie mail cant be send or retrieved without initial correct authentication.APOP and standard PASS authentication work.
No need of any SQL base and so on. However, better know how PERL and CGIs work ! This allows NSWM to remain simple and light, and not to require an important set of PERL modules.
NSWM now support two kinda security improvments:
- HTTP Auth: just configure your Apache to authenticate user with normal HTTP Auth. Then you
need to use indexauth.pl instead of index.html as a start page, and run NSWM in mod_perl.
It works automatically.
- Cookie stored key: the key used to encrypt the password may be stocked partially in a cookie.
This prevents bad guys from accessing other users inboxes when they used shared computers.
You have to enable this feature in the configwm.pm file, at "cookiedomain": enter your
domain to enable the feature, comment the line out to disable.
Both security features will work over HTTPS.
Supported languages
Modules exists and languages have been tested for:
- English (lang-en.pl module, core module)
- Francais (lang-fr.pl module, dev module)

Anyone translating the langpack in another language is asked to send it us, please !
This way we can improve NSWM.
installation
1- Unzip it:
On performant UNIX (with recent gnu tar), do a tar xvzf nswm-XXXXXX.tar.gz
On Windows, use Winzip or PowerArchiver (http://www.powerarchiver.com)
2- Set up your favorite HTTP server to handle the application.
For Apache:
=> put an Alias section as /nswm for the nswm/html directory
=> put a ScriptAlias section as /nswm/cgi-bin for the nswm/cgi-bin directory
For IIS,NES:
Use the graphic interface to set it up properly. Refer to server documentation.
3- Then you have to edit configwm.pm file and specify your SMTP server ($SMTPserver variable).
Words and paths can be set up in config.pl file.
You can also choose the language.
Nota: configwm.pm template is configwm.pm.dist.
4- PERL Modules to install if not installed:
Dont forget to install them (example with Mail::POP3Client):
=> perl -MCPAN -e install Mail::POP3Client on UNIX (or see at http://www.cpan.org)
or ppm Mail-POP3Client on WNTs ActivePerl (but better see at http://www.activetsate.com)
The following modules/packages are needed:
IO-stringy,MIME-Base64,MIME-Lite,MIME-tools,MailTools,Mail::POP3Client,TimeDate,URI,CGI
(yeah, thats a lot, i know. MIME encoding/decoding isnt a simple thing...)
5- Misc install things:
Dont forget to chmod 777 (or, better, chown apache or nobody or www-data) the /var/opt/nswm/log and
/var/opt/nswm/tmp directories if you dont change those locations in the configwm.pm file.
You can do a small cron script to launch bin/nswmcron to enable the automatic cleanup of temp files (This is automatically done by the RPM). Dont forget to change the html/title.htm file....
Enhancements:
- Several improvements in mail header decoding in the inbox.
- Optional ability to report spam to spam software (tested and documented with SpamAssassin).

If you have a single domain on your server you won t need to do this. There must be at least one domain at the database and its index should be 1. This is the default domain for any user. You can change your default domain at the tblDomain.sql file at the queries folder.
