Has any one tried ...

[Charles H. Root, III]

Joe,

I'd be careful with mail2web for business use...

If you are in an industry regulated by GLBA, HIPPA or SEC constraints
you are going to blow your compliance. You are entering an email account
name & password into a web form. They claim they are not storing that
info in a database but you never know what a disgruntled employee may do.

Additionally, If you are in one of the regulated industries, you are often
obligated to have a signed confidentiality/privacy agreement with your
vendors.

Another concern is that you would have no way to force your users to
access email via the SSL version of the site only. It can all be sniffed.

However, if your organization is not concerned with privacy, security and
confidentiality mail2web will work.

I like Dave Dudek's idea of an Open Source, in-house solution.

Just my two cents...

Best regards,

I'm no expert on this, but isn't squirelmail an IMAP web client that would
work for you?  I know there are various implementations of IMP that work
to varying degrees.

was after scraping 600 hackers off the server who were using us to relay
e-mail and managed to get our server on a number of black lists.)  I finally
had to shut down the inbound port which disabled OWA.
