We have a dedicated Linux box and using Sendmail for e-mail. Does anyone know if Sendmail has a built in feature to check e-mail via web browser?
We want to allow customer service reps to be able to check their inbox via web browser if they are working form home, etc and it seems like a web interface would be ideal. Also it would be nice if there was a web based administration interface for Sendmail. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

I have a room in my college at Oxford, and am using a fridge to keep my food cool. Does anyone know if my fridge has a built in feature to cook food via my laptop computer?
I want to allow myself to cook food via my laptop if I am working at my desk, etc. and it seems that an interface from my laptop would be ideal. Also it would be nice if my laptop could tell me what food I had inside the fridge. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Parody aside, the point I'm trying to make is that Sendmail is a MTA -- Mail Transfer Agent -- while to check your mail you'd want to use a MUA -- Mail User Agent -- and your web browser is something completely different. Sendmail moves mail from your server to and from other servers; sendmail does not provide client services.
For checking mail, it sounds like you want a "webmail" package. Dmoz has links to lots of them (http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Internet/Clients/Mail/Web-Based/), take your pick.
For mail administration, there are again a number of options, but I'd suggest webmin (http://www.webmin.com/webmin/).

There are a whole bunch of web based email software out there. Just go to http://freshmeat.net, and search for 'webmail'.

I'd recommend SquirrelMail from squirrelmail.org.
They just came out with a new version, finally.
Woohoo!

Hi!
Mailreader is a very good webbased email program.
It is very easy to install and a very practical system.
You might want considering it.
Have a great day :)

Installing Webmin (http://www.webmin.com/webmin/) gives a web interface to configure Sendmail and also read e-mails via the web, for all accounts.
