Hi; I don't know what these things are called so that I can look for an OS solution. I want to install an email server interface like Hotmail where people can check their email TTW. What is this called? Any recommendations? TIA, Susan

My hosting provider gives me squirrelmain, horde, and something else I disremember.
Alternatively, they could use thunderbird, and simply configure it to not delete from the server.

Squirrelmail and horde/imp can act as web interfaces to existing imap servers so they are easy enough to add on if you already have working email. If you are starting from scratch (and have to ask about it) you might like an appliance-like distribution like SME server (old but reliable) or ClearOS (used to be ClarkConnect). Both are based on Centos code but install with most things you want pre-configured and an easy management interface. I haven't tried ClearOS yet but it looks interesting if they have really done away with the email user limit on the free version.

Hi Susan,
You could also look at the free (or paid if you want all the features) of Zimbra.

I set up an imap server (dovecot) but firewall the standard ports, providing access via squirrelmail. It works quite well.
I also set up SpamAssassin and ClamAV with a web interface for adding to their personal whitelist and blacklist. Procmail filtering is also possible (I use it on mine) but I have not written an interface to write the recipes yet (but all the users have procmail set up, that's what actually filters spam into their spam folder)
Anyway - look at Squirrelmail. It's free and makes a nice web based imap client.

As previous posters have mentioned, SquirrelMail is commonly used for web mail. Not fancy, but it seems to work well. Giving the users the option to use IMAP is very powerful. One can check their email on the web, on their Desktop, cell phone/PDA, etc., read/write/delete and everything syncs up and you have a backup on your Desktop or the web. You are on gmail, so if you haven't already configured it for IMAP, give it a try.
