Any idea? Thanking you in advance In the FreeBSD ports tree, you have a couple options: o /usr/ports/mail/squirrelmail this requires IMAP, which is much better than POP3 anyhow. I use squirrelmail on my server. In fact, I'm writing this message through the squirrelmail interface right now. o /usr/ports/mail/openwebmail this is a great program with a fast, tiny interface. o /usr/ports/mail/imp3 imp is part of the Horde system. It's a very powerful, very full-featured mail system, which can use an IMAP backend. It's a bloated behemoth, but if you're looking for features, this one's great. A bitch to configure under certain circumstances. o /usr/ports/mail/omail omail requries qmail, and I thus haven't used it. However, people who have often swear by it. Poke around at the webpages for each app, and see which one you like best. # Adam adam@vectors.cx adamw@freebsd.org adam.weinberger.b@bayer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
