Introduction:
-------------
SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP. It
includes built-in pure PHP support for the IMAP and SMTP protocols, and all
pages render in pure HTML 4.0 (with no Javascript) for maximum compatibility
across browsers. It has very few requirements and is very easy to configure
and install. SquirrelMail has all the functionality you would want from an
email client, including strong MIME support, address books, and folder
manipulation.  

Why did you guys create SquirrelMail?  The need arose in our organization
for the access of email and address books from anywhere in the world.
Obviously a web interface is ideal for this, given that the user has access
to the Internet.  After reviewing several open source projects, we realized
that we were going to need to do some fairly major customizations to get
things to be a nice fit for our needs.  So the decision was made to create
our own for some of these reasons, and for fun (we really like PHP).  We
decided to open source the project to contribute to the community that has
contributed so much to us.  Since then, it has grown much bigger than we
ever imagined, and we have an awesome development team who are actively
working on the project.

We would love to hear from you!  The nature of open source projects make it
hard to know who all is using your product.  It is always nice when we get
emails from people just telling us that they're using SquirrelMail.  If you
have a few minutes, please send us an email to let us know!  You can send it
to our mailing list:  squirrelmail-users@lists.sourceforge.net

You can also go to the page below and fill out a small form to get listed
with the list of people already using SquirrelMail (free advertising).
