php webmail script

Hi!

I really hope you can sort this one out for me!

I have to put a webmail on a given domain (windows servers). It serves only one mail account. The website is not hosted by me, so I haven't got access to any dirs below /home.

This hosting solution supports PHP 4, Perl/CGI scripts and POP mail, but it doesn't support none of the following: SMTP, IMAP, or MySQL.

I need the webmail script to be able to view emails in the account, and also to send emails (regardless of no smtp support). I thought this could not be done, but then I checked that I can send emails (and read them), by using telnet (pine application).

Oh, and it would be better if it's free.

Well, this is it. Help?

ps. I've already tried these scripts (with no luck), and some more: squirrelmail, anyemail, uebimiau, prometheus, ADJE WebMail, PIMP, ixmail, ...

hello acseven


just have a look at my post over http://forums.devshed.com/t110380/s.html - looks like I tested the other half of the webmail scripts :-)

Just be a little more specific about what the script needs to be able to do. For example the big problem I had was that I need multiple pop3 accounts. A lot of the scripts I tested are sending email via sendmail so you do not need smtp.

Ok you say they do not support IMAP, that does not necesarily mean that they don ot have the php imap module installed which again is necesary for some webmailers.

You have no mysql available - would you mind using a mysql db on another host? like if it was your friend you are doing this you could offer him to use one of your db. OR are you willing to look for a webmailer not needing any db?

Hi, thaks for answering:

- I only need access to one mail account;
- There is no IMAP installed;
- no SMTP server;
- no MySQL available;
- I need to be able to send mail through that account.

This is a very hard to find solution.. but no worries, I've given up a long time now

ok acseven

you did not really respond to all my questions:



could you check on that?



what about that?


do you need webmail access or would a local solution to sending mails through that account be enough?

Hi, I thought I answered all the questions:
"- There is no IMAP installed;" means "that they do not have the php imap module installed...";

"- no MySQL available;" means no I cannot;

"I need to be able to send mail through that account." means that I need a webmail mail solution from which I can read mails and send mails. I can now do that with PINE (using telnet), but with no other webmail solution.

thks

seems like I cannot really help you. the only thing I found that came near a solution is nocc. BUT it needs PHP to be compiled with IMAP support. (--with-imap at the configure stage).

sorry thyts all I can give you

yeah, nocc was the one who worked most easily.. but the IMAP support was esential.

thanks anyway.
