We use IMHO (http://www.lysator.liu.se/~stewa/IMHO/) that works with the open source Roxen (http://www.roxen.com) web server. It is one of the few webmail servers that maintains a persistant connection for each session, making it faster than any other webmail that I have used. It is highly customizable. The webmail server is written in a dynamically compiled language called Pike, so code changes do not require a recompile. It saves a preference file on the IMAP server. We are running it on 4 load balanced Sun Netra T1's. They are very reliable; I rarely have to deal with them. No, it will not work under Apache. The only problem that I have found is a memory leak that causes the Roxen process to grow in size until it consumes almost all system memory. We deal with this by restarting the servers on a time staggered basis. There is also a webmail/web server based on the IMHO/Roxen system called Camas (http://camas.caudium.net) that runs on the Caudium webserver (http://www.caudium.net). I have not tried it, but plan to. Regards, Tom -- Tom Karches email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Systems Administrator phone : 919.515.5508 NCSU Information Technology
