Hastymail

Hastymail is yet another webmail IMAP client written in PHP. Hastymail is designed for speed, simplicity, RFC compatibility and security.

Our goal is to create a simple interface with powerful but easy to use options that make managing your IMAP account effective and fast. Hastymail is NOT groupware. We are focused on being a functional and fast webmail client.

Here are some key features of "Hastymail":

· Hastymail provides an attractive interface and modest feature set with very few browser requirements. By default Hastymail does NOT use HTML frames, Javascript, or cookies.
· All Hastymail needs from PHP is session support, but additional functionality can be used or internal functions replaced with configuration options
· Hastymail works across HTTPS transparently and if using PHP 4.3+ with openssl support can connect to IMAP, LDAP, and SMTP servers using TLS/SSL.
· Hastymail combines CSS for themes and templates for layout giving sites an easy way to customize the interface. As of 1.5 Hastymail has 3 template sets and many themes.
· Lots of site-wide options can be tweaked to make Hastymail work with your environment.
· Hastymail is 100% PHP5 compatible

· Mozilla, (current versions, many platforms)
· Internet explorer, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0
