Lately I've been working on a new webmail application which will be part of the Christian.net service I am developing. It's finally at a point where I'm happy with it (it's not complete though) so I thought I'd tell y'all about it and get some feedback. It's called PHPost.

It's written in PHP and it's freeware. It should work with any standard POP server and it requires no third party libraries or modules (like the PHP imap stuff).

Features include full MIME support (both sending and decoding attachments using base64 or uuencoding), a very clean and simple interface (in my opinion), multiple language support (currently working on English, French, and Spanish and I could use some help on other languages too), multiple users (each with their own preferences), message sorting, index caching for big speedups, etc.

You can find it at www.webgadgets.com/phpost/phpost.php The username is "test" and the password is "pest". Please check it out and let me know what you think.

Is the MIME content supposed to be positioned and displayed or just listed? I ask because I expected that the MIME tests would output an HTML-formatted e-mail message. Otherwise, great-looking piece of software!

The mime attachments are listed where they appear in the message and clicking on any of them will allow you to view/download them.

The only parts that are displayed in-line currently are the text/plain ones. I am adding an option to render text/html in-line as well. I may add a richtext to html convertor and maybe some other text types, but none are really necessary. It would be incorrect (in my opinion) to in-line any other mime types though (ie: if you want a GIF to appear as part of a message instead of a separate attachment then you should use HTML or MESSAGE/RFC822).

I re-thought it a bit and added a "Render images" option, so attachments that are images can now be viewed as if they were part of an HTML message.

I've also had several language files submitted (we're up to nine now, including Chinese and Japanese).
