Perl Webmail
Perl Webmail is a CGI/mod_perl application that interfaces with external POP3 and SMTP services. It provides all the expected functionality of a mail client, such as read, reply, forward, delete, as well as sending and receiving attachments, storage for mail folders, contacts, and calendar notes.

Any plans of using HTML templates in later versions rather than printing it in the code? Would make it much easier for system administrators at ISPs to brand things like the marketing droid wants :). Also IMAP support would be cool. I have limited time but I'll be happy to offer some patches if you can use them.
Otherwise good job with this! I think its going to save me a lot of time :)

I'll wait for the next version as my server will be down for a short while for relocation and upgrades.

Yes, expect it in the next version. If you would like a patch for 3.0.5, email me via woodwardj at jaos dot org with 'unread bold patch' as subject.
Unread mail?
Can we get a way to differentiate between read and unread mail, perhaps bold the unread messages?
Other then that this program is exactly what I was looking for, easy to setup and easy to use.
Keep up the great work!
Just what the Dr. ordered
It's 5:00 am amd I'm off on a business trip by 6:00. I wanted to setup web-based e-mail on my Linux server for access on the road.
Followed instructions and the installation was done in less than 10 minutes. Required modules are clearly identified in README and troubleshooting steps were listed (although it worked fine for me the first try).
I made one tweak to webperl.pl so the HTML formatting was more to my liking and that was it. Instant Perl-based Hotmail without the Hotmail hassle.
Great program and I still have time to pickup coffee. I love it when things work as advertised.
