Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi.

Does anyone know any good web based email clients written in perl that can handle pop3 accounts? I need it to be free and be able to customize it (edit the code).

Any ideas?

Currently, I'm transferring a site from a server to another. Previously I was using Horde IMP (horde.org), but I can't get it to work on the new server. So I'm looking for an alternative.

Thanks,
Ralph.

    There is also Open WebMail. It's based off of Neomail.

    /\/\averick
    perl -l -e "eval pack('h*','072796e6470272f2c5f2c5166756279636b672');"

    I would personally recommend perl webmail. It's a fairly straightforward perl CGI script which I've used in the past without problems. Handles POP3 and the code is quite clear. I don't know why it doesn't use strict though :-P

    Update: There is also a range of scripts which might fit your needs in the Code Catacombs.

    Thanks for all of your replies! :)

    I'm going with ThinMailer at last, because the host I'm using has barely any modules installed.

    Thanks,
    Ralph :)
