Status/RoadMap
We have a webmail client integrated in Tiki. This mail client works with POP3 accounts I have adopted WebMail, please come and join me!
I have completed preliminary IMAP support. It is not destined for the 1.7 Release Candidate branch but rather, CVS HEAD and will be part of the 1.8 release.

As mentioned in the IRC channel, it appears that Horde IMP is very popular in academic institutions. That may be, in part, due to UPenn's favorable review. Sadly it does not mention another leading project, SquirrelMail. My impression is that SquirrelMail is less feature-rich, or bloated, resulting in a cleaner, faster mail experience. Just my humble opinion. I personally vote for SM since my university uses IMP, and either IMP is just really slow or our servers are misconfigured. I, and most of my fellow students, hate IMP with a vengeance. -Terence
(Well the two have a key difference, SM is POP and IMP is IMAP, which is a bit of an issue outside university. Horde IMP isn't very popular in academia due to UPenn, I assure you the admins here at Harvard couldn't care less what UPenn thinks. They used the first available tool, which was Horde/IMP, and since they've had time to manipulate it to their liking, there's no reason for them to change.
Note: Squirrelmail actually supports IMAP. See two quotes below.
If tikiwiki's mail supported both SPOP3, SIMAP, and PGP, or if Squirrelmail supported both, it would see more adoption at the university level. IMAP with IMP is tougher to install and configure, but in the long run its easier to manage users and protect their email which in the war on Outlook is pretty much key.
I see now Squirrelmail has added both SIMAP and PGP, youmay want to just strip SM and roll it into Tiki as a replacement for webmail. It looks like I may have to do that myself to get the frigging thing accepted at my work over Lotus Domino.) - Jake
