The Web-Based E-Mail Application

WebMail is an advanced POP3/SMTP mail client to manipulate (e.g: read, delete, etc.) any mail item that resides on the mail server, from a remote station like a PC or a Unix station. Because WebMail uses the plain POP3 protocol, no direct file access is needed on the server hosting the POP3 mailbox.
