What is a good webmail (pop3) to use in FC3 with dovecot ?


in our recent surveys of webmail frontends... there are no good pop3 webmail frontends...

maintaining two different stores for mail (the spool, and the pop3 mail storage) is a little wasteful, and less easy to scale than imap or something like sqwebmail which manipulates maildir's directly.

Cyrus does use maildirs.  If you revert to using c-client-based mail
servers (such as Crispin's stuff), then you use a single mailbox ("MBOX"
for imap, the normal maildrop for pop3) and there's no reason to have
two separate mail structures:

	$HOME/mail/mbox    <--- imap MBOX and pop3 maildrop
	$HOME/mail/Sent    <--- imap folder
	$HOME/mail/Trash   <--- imap folder

I run a mail system with over 60K users and that's how I have it set
up.  Works fine.  They can use pop, imap, or webmail (we use IMP, but
squirrelmail works fine too, since they're both just PHP-powered web
front ends to the IMAP protocol).
