Subject corrected :-)
Well,
with SquirrelMail (that's what I use
ALWAYS) you don't need telnet or ssh
to read your mail :-)
So I have the best of both worlds:
Web based email (send and receive)
from anywhere on the planet with ANY
web browser (supporting https) and
ssh access from anywhere on the
planet with a web browser with Java
Both are simply web pages that give me
the functionality immediately.
Now if I don't have Java in the browser,
I'd be surprised if I was allowed to run
telnet (though of course it is possible :-)
I live in AU but worked for a US company
two years ago for a year and this is what
I wanted but I hadn't sorted out email then
(used ssh to check system status and POP3
to read mail with "keep on server" option)
Recently I looked around at the email clients
and found SquirrelMail (among 5 others) and
then said goodbye to Outlook forever finally
:-)
It's not "perfect" but very close and easy
to change - PHP scripts are not hard to
understand and I'd never seen PHP before.
