Re: [gentoo-user] Web mail

you could take a look at roundcube.net

There is an ebuild referred to in bugzilla (which actually points to an
svn server somewhere else). 

I installed it a day or so ago. the postinstall instructions needed some
tweaking (mainly quoting on the mysql commands) but sorry i didn't make
notes.

The performance sucks a bit compared to squirrel - it is more cpu
intensive. 

I am connecting to courier imap on the same box with some very large
(read: owned by a lazy b'stard) mailboxes. The performance hit seems to
be equally divided between courier and apache (which will be the php
stuff no doubt). I may try dovecot which is held out by some as a better
performer.

It is a nice looker, although lacking some stuff I thought. But its
still in beta, so no doubt more will come.
