As for the sluggish factor as I mentioned there are online 'previews' and usually an indication to what hardware is underneath the webserver (if not I think useful information can be extracted from the HTTP headers) so you know what sort of hardware you need to 'hide' the sluggishness. have fun and let me know what you find out about them. I'm yet to personally test them until we get our domain registered and the e-mails coming in :) Alex -- / Fortune finishes the great quotations, \ | #3 | || | Birds of a feather flock to a newly| \ washed car./ \ ^__^ \ (oo)\___ (__)\ )\/\ ||w | || || pgpmduzMFWekt.pgp Description: PGP signature

Especially if you are planning on telling your friends about the 'service'. Most won't like using a UNIX mail client 'fun' and they probably don't want to use an IMAP/POP account. Some of these clients are *very* nice, others less so. I would recommend, if you consider this a good idea, is to have several/all running on the machine at first and then after a period of trial testing we select the one we all love the most :) Before I hand out a stack of links to them heres some interesting bits that could help enchance the 'experience' of webmail: http://wuming.it/wap/ (WAP access) http://www.sanisoft.com/wappop/ (WAP access) http://www.verelst.net/outlook.html (access outlook accounts via our thing transparently) And heres the list of them (review page http://www.cru.fr/http-mail/): http://ilohamail.org/main.php http://www.horde.org/imp/ http://jawmail.sourceforge.net/index.php http://neomail.sourceforge.net/ http://webmail.omnis.ch/omail.pl?action=3Dabout http://openwebmail.org/ http://www.phpgroupware.org/index.php http://phorecast.org/ http://ractive.ch/popper/index.php http://prometheus.zerodivide.net/apps/pimp/ http://www.squirrelmail.org/ http://www.trlinux.com/ http://twig.screwdriver.net/ http://www.uebimiau.sili.com.br/ Tell me what you lot think and we will deal with it, this collection was made up from trawling freshmeat.net. So if you are looking for other ones I would use freshmeat. :) Alex -- most of the above have a 'preview' feature you can use on their website. And there are definately one or two very professional GPL ones which have calender support. have fun Alex -- ___ / All things being equal, you are bound \ \ to lose. / --- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\___ (__)\ )\/\ ||w | || || pgpulaTSfxKDb.pgp Description: PGP signature
