SquirrelMail

SquirrelMail is a webmail package written in PHP. It has all the functionality you would want from an email client, including strong MIME support, address books, and folder manipulation.

SquirrelMail outputs valid HTML 4.0 for its presentation, making it compatible with a majority of current web browsers. SquirrelMail uses a plugin architecture to accommodate additional features around the core application.

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 required) for maximum compatibility across browsers. 

It has very few requirements and is very easy to configure and install.

SquirrelMail is stable enough to use in a production system, and is very popular with educational organisations.

SquirrelMail allows you to log in to your IMAP and SMTP servers using plaintext, CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5, as well as use SSL for extra security.
