Backups 5. Experience You need to understand how SquirrelMail works. You will need that knowledge in order * to customize interface to suit your site * to combine stock and third party plugins When you setup bigger webmail system, you plan whole system. Not only webmail part. Evaluate your current and future needs. It might be difficult to add new features in some layouts. -- Tomas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 -- squirrelmail-users mailing list List Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List Archives: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=2995 List Info: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
