Simply is the best! Do you ever want to have a good webmail client for internal use only? It should be tightly integrated into your intranet website, e.g., single password and single sign-on. Most of all, it must not be too heavy but effective and easy enough for end-users. Actually, it depends on what your intranet software is. I do recommend you to try Drupal. Drupal has everything you want. And it also has a module to serve a simple webmail client providing single sign-on for you and your colleagues.

Pontomail is a webmail module for Drupal. Though, it is not the best in term of functionality and user interface because it is very new project brought to you by Souvent22. Thanks! Below is current features of Pontomail.

• IMAP
• Multiple account per user
• Send mail with attachments
• View attachments
• View thumbnails of attached images
• Autocomplete e-mail address through internal users and external LDAP
• RESTful
• Customizable themes

Anyway, the author firstly wrote it on PHP5 so there are a few compatibility issues on PHP4. I have submitted a patch to make it work on PHP4. If you want to try it out, download the patch and apply it.

I like Pontomail!
