Does FreeBSD 6.x come with a port/package I can install to access POP mail
on my server via a web link?

Many thanks.

Um...like OpenWebMail perhaps...

Ok, I'll rephrase the question - what's the best _simple_ Webmail server on
FreeBSD?

Probably Squirrelmail.

Horde/IMP is nice, too, but not that easy to install.
Takes some persistence Wink

Will either of those piggyback on top of an existing postfix/qpopper
environment? I don't do IMAP.

Thanks for the ideas.

There is no. But you could start with dovecot/roundcube.

I don't know of any webmail that attempts to manage a POP account. POP
is too feeble for that.

On the other hand, if you just want to see what's arrived lately,
get a Yahoo or Gmail account and set it up to fetch your POP mail.

We are currently running SquirrelMail here. It's been up for a
couple of years and the users like it. But I am always looking
to see if something better is in the pipe.

Horde/IMP is "better", but takes more (depending on the number of
modules you implement: much more) resources.



cheers,
Rainer
