I have not seen many open-sourced ones on the level of hotmail, but there is no reason for that. The POP3 module for perl is quite powerful, and with the MIME modules a powerful webmail can be created. I will be building a fully functional webmail interface to a pop3 server this year for my own needs. If you would like to help in the effort, I would be happy to make it a public project. What I have used so far is... http://www.Freshmeat.net/appindex/1999/12/15/945300339.html It does the basics, but need to learn to parse and display attachments. A method to allow users to have folders to sort their mail is also a necessary function which is not supported via POP3. You would need to create spool files for each folder, which means you have to get into the guts of it.
