Acmemail vs WING (was Re: mod_perl-friendly webmail solutions?)
I found the one that Luis suggested, (acmemail) and a few more, including WING. These 2 are the only ones programmed to take advantage of mod_perl. I fear the other ones are not mod_perl aware, so the may not be safe/efficient under mod_perl, so my choices are mainly between these two. Acmemail is nicely documented, and seems 'ready to go' (tempting!), although I fear it may not be as configurable as I want. Do you know anything about it? WING (http://users.ox.ac.uk/~mbeattie/wing) on the other hand, seems to offer raw power, but all it offers is a bare webpage without much actual implementation details. please don't think I was bought by the eyecandy in acmemail page (http://www.astray.com/acmemail), but I need a working solution in a reasonable timeframe. Acmemail seems to need some tweaking to make it work. WING, well, either I didn't understand well or needs me to study the man pages of its modules and design and code an implementation.

martin langhoff sent the following bits through the ether: Acmemail is nicely documented, and seems 'ready to go' (tempting!), although I fear it may not be as configurable as I want. Do you know anything about it? As the main developer of acmemail, I'd actually go for WING - acmemail is getting there, but recently development has slowed quite a lot. We have lots of great plans but not really enough time to implement anything. It currently scales fairly badly too. OTOH the documentation is very good, and, of course, it's very pretty ;-) It looked like we were getting critical mass with the number of people interested in helping development, but no-one has actually contributed any code recently. It *was* going to make a good case on how open source development can succeed :-( Development will start again as soon as yapc::Europe is over and people get back from holiday, honest. Scalability will really only happen when I can get some beefy servers to test it on. btw you could have asked this on the acmemail and WING lists, surely?

Leon! Development will start again as soon as yapc::Europe is over and people get back from holiday, honest. Scalability will really only happen when I can get some beefy servers to test it on. What are the scalability issues? I'm looking at the possiblity of doing this for some hundreds of thousands of users. If I could staple WING onto the Template Toolkit AND it scaled, I'd be in hog heaven. What templater are you using?

What templater are you using? Wing scales well. Its the 'imap' server where you will have issues. I use wing with imap-uw and about 50 'trusted' users. I'm looking into a 'ldap' email alternative. But haven't learned the reality there. If I find 'ldap email' is sane, I'm going to hack Wing's 'maild' for my needs. good luck, Wendell

entropic, is WING something I can deploy and configure/customize (like most webmail solutions) or should code the interface to get it to work? does it support imap folders and address books? martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Wing scales well.
