Is there any Hotmail clone software for Linux?
Users can make their own account by registration and receive/send email on web browser. Just like Hotmail.
Thank you, guys.

Take a look at www.squirrelmail.com and www.imp.org

thanks guys. but you are missing my points. both don't allow users make their own accounts by registration. administrator should make users mail account.
what i want is just like Hotmail. you can open your own webmail account by simple registration.
i need this kind of software bad. please help me. thanks

Can "regular" users create new accounts with SquirrelMail? I didn't think they could :confused:

Edit: heh I guess not :(

squirrelmail and imp (horde.org) are only front ends to POP3 or IMAP servers. Creating an account is not their job. If you want a complete solution, take a look at this paper:

solutionscripts.com does, last I check it was 400. Works though, and is pretty decent.

Try one of these:

http://www.inter7.com/vqsignup/
http://www.inter7.com/vqregister/

I've never used either of them, but by their descriptions, it looks like that is what you're looking for.

http://www.inter7.com/freesoftware for more free software.

I don't think there is any freeware clone of hotmail or yahoo which you are looking for. If you find then please post here.

I know what you are talking about. I was looking for the exact same as you for a period of time there. I bought Alias-Mail from solutionscripts.com for $400 last year and it has been nothing but problems. I just took it down from my site. He would not refund my money. Trust me:

1. Alias-Mail is junk.
2. Free email hosting in general is a waste of time.

Although, this post has nothing to do with this topic.

None are particularly cheap, and I've never actually tried any of these. ;)
