The best one, in my opinion is Hivemail.

It isn't free though.

Have a look at

http://www.horde.org/ and search for IMP there

or

http://www.squirrelmail.org/

or

http://www.neomail.org/

They're all open source webmail applications and do the job. Personally, I prefer Horde's IMP.

For a very nice and handy mailing-class in PHP get your copy of

http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/

hey..one question...after i downloaded imp3.2.2.tar i am not sure what to do with that..

i opened the file with winzip..and now i dont know what to do...should i extract all the files? but wonder where to put them..

and more importantly i dont know much about IMP...why would i need it? for having a customisable user mail account? I mean to receive mails?

just confused!

It's all in the FAQ on Horde's website.

Better use Pine if u are on the Linux operating system, its already configured and u can easily access the same, just by typing pine or mail on the command prompt.

and if on windows squirrel mail will be fun.
