hi,
i'm looking around, searching webmail solutions that run without
problems under mod_perl. Although I know there are many, most of them
are not very mod_perl friendly.
now, the actual questions are
- is anyone here running (successfuly) a mod_perl webmail?
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.
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?
