I've been using OpenWebmail (OWM) for the last 7 years
and still use it to this day. There's not much to
really know about it. It's perl-based, works with mbox
files directly (no imap), it fast, has a web calendar,
web disk and can integrate virus scanning (like clamav
f.e.) into the system.

I don't care too much for "fat" clients and heaps of
bells and whistles. The web brings us the ability to
access data from anywhere in the world, and my
priority is speed, saving time in my life to do other
things than see eye candy.

That's not to say OWM doesn't look good, it does, but
that is to say it's fast, been around for so long, is
mature, stable and handles Webmail for clients of the
largest ISP's and ASP's in Australia (100,000+ email
accounts is normal).

Regards,

Michael.
