Hey I have been looking for ages for a decent mail system for my users. I want to know if their are any hotmail like mail systems where users can register for an email address. I have a catch all address.

I had a look at this site http://www.socketmail.com/site/home/
which is absolutely perfect script but $99 is not my perfect solution. Does anyone know of any other similar systems that are free or cost a little less or would you recommend this system to me?

Thanks,
Andy

Here's some PHP Webmail scripts you may want to look at (some POP3, some IMAP)

http://www.horde.org/imp/ - free download
http://ilohamail.org/main.php - free (GPL Licence)
http://www.jawmail.org/ - free download
http://www.squirrelmail.org/ - free download
http://www.hivemail.com/ - licences are - $180 supported / $130 unsupported

Hope these help - I've only ever used squirrelmail out of these but free webmail is something i'm looking into implementing myself so lemme know how you get on

hmm looked at some of them I need it to be hotmail like where users can sign up for an account rather than admin make one for them.

Been busy last few days forgot to see if there were any updates. You had any progress with this yet?

just seen this link in a previous post on here (from 19th Jan '05) - it may be of use - http://scripts.freemans-web.com/cpac2/

not as of yet having big problems with host and my own computer, ill get round to it when it comes around again. Still considering purchasing that socketmail tho.
