I know its possoible, because that Mail_Fetch plugin allows you to fetch mail from pop accounts, and store them in imap folders. Now I have a host that has only POP accounts, with PHP IMAP extentions, so I guess I can make SquirrelMail work. But I have no clue how to install it. I'm just a newbie with scripts, and hosting. I did not know where else to write for help, but if there a different forum I should go to, where I can get help with this, please link me there. If anyone can help, that would be nice, thanks.

PS: I read the forums that someone did set up SquirrelMail like I expained above, I PMed him, but no replys yet. So I guess its possible to set it up on my host.

I'm hosted by Aletia.com ... I'm on Starfish Server if someone wants to check them out.

Thank You!!!

Do you use CPanel as your control panel?
If yes, SquirrellMail now can work on it :)

I don't think it could be possible, however if you think you have seen such a thing then you must be able to use search button to find it.

There are some poeple here that do mailservers professionally.

MotleyFool is one of them.

Once we discussed about different possible installations of squirell mail. You should be able to find that thread too.

Hey Mac,

Thanks for remembering me! :)

It sure feels great!

I have installed squirrelmail with mail fetch working pretty smoothly [you just need to comment the RFC stuff in the pop3.class] but I haven't ever thought about installing it as a virtual user. I will have to see the requirements and file permissions.

You need an imap server running on top of the MTA to make squirrelmail work. First check if your host has it..

If you have SSH just type in the command line

ps auxwww | grep imap

and see if it returns any imap server

I always pay attention to your posts. :) And I always remeber those who have taught something to me.

I got sunnydee 15894 0.0 0.0 1704 584 pts/0 S 22:57 0:00 grep imap

Does that mean anything? Cuz I have no clue. I know my host does not have imap server. Only thing its running is PHP with IMAP extentions.

Look at my hosting plan here: http://www.aletiahosting.com/hosting/ ...does not matter wich plan, they all have the same options, just depends how much of each.

my server php info here: http://starfish.nocdns.com/phpinfo/

It shows me your username is sunnydee and that there is no IMAP server running

Tough luck Bud!

May be you can ask them ?

Strong words my friend! :) I dont think they are deserved though... I am a fool and always will be!

Why don't you access the POP3 accounts directly from SquirrelMail?

As far as I can remember Squirrelmail needs an imap server running for install

Thats what I am trying to do, but seems like I cant.

So, whats a good pop3 webmail?.... I have tryed them all, but they are too simple in features. I guess I'm in search for a webmail script that has nice features, and many of them, and its free, and can read pop3 mail boxes...hehe.


MotleyFool, I said that my host has no IMAP servers, only PHP IMAP extentions. Why would they even have IMAP extentions?
Anyway, they are considering installing IMAP, since now CPanel supports it. We will see, but I might switch host anyways.

Oh, sorry. I thought it was possible.

Anyway, I'm sure that NOCC (http://nocc.sf.net/) can. It is still under development though.

You can use them to access any other IMAP supported server. You can also use the IMAP extensions to access POP3 servers. (This is why I thought squirrelmail supports POP3.)
