Dear Suse list
Any suggestions for how I might run a "Hotmail" online email type of service from our Linux box. Are there any programs out there already set up to do this sort of thing ?
You mean a webmail system? Yes, there's a few out there. Quickly searching on Freshmeat gives: http://freshmeat.net/projects/imp/ http://freshmeat.net/projects/phpwebmail/ And there's also one which we're using in Oxford called WING. http://users.ox.ac.uk/~mbeattie/wing/ It's still being developed, but there have been a couple of thousand users using it without any problems, which I'm sure is only a good thing :) Try all of the above, see which one you prefer, which one your students prefer, or even just run all of them and give a choice.
Our school is soon to have a permanent in and out connection so this becomes an attractive option to offer our own pupils and FPs.
What about a console session to mutt or pine? ;-) Dan -- dankolb@ox.compsoc.net Oxford University Computer Society Secretary --I reserve the right to be completely wrong about any comments or opinions expressed; don't trust everything you read above--
