Fetchmail – Fetchmail is a full-featured, robust, well-documented remote-mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended to be used over on-demand TCP/IP links (such as SLIP or PPP connections). It supports every remote-mail protocol now in use on the Internet: POP2, POP3, RPOP, APOP, KPOP, all flavors of IMAP, ETRN, and ODMR. It can even support IPv6 and IPSEC. Fetchmail retrieves mail from remote mail servers and forwards it via SMTP, so it can then be read by normal mail user agents such as mutt, elm(1) or BSD Mail. It allows all your system MTA's filtering, forwarding, and aliasing facilities to work just as they would on normal mail.
NullLogic – Downloads – Webmail is a simple yet powerful webmail CGI written in C. Null Webmail is platform-independent and supports more than 25 different languages. Null Webmail is Free Software, and is available under the terms of the GNU GPL
The Courier Mail Server – The Courier mail transfer agent (MTA) is an integrated mail/groupware server based on open commodity protocols, such as ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, LDAP, SSL, and HTTP. Courier provides ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, webmail, and mailing list services within a single, consistent, framework. Individual components can be enabled or disabled at will. The Courier mail server now implements basic web-based calendaring and scheduling services integrated in the webmail module. Advanced groupware calendaring services will follow soon.
Virtual Exim – Virtual Exim provides a web interface for managing your email domains. It can support as many domains as Exim and your SQL database can handle. I'm sure you'll run out of domains before either Exim or your database run out of steam. Virtual Exim provides you with a *nice* interface to maintain your users and domains. You can delegate domain ownership to the respective owners, who can create and remove user accounts from their domains at will, and also allow their users to update their own passwords and mail preferences. A complete list of features can be found on the Features page
Exim Internet Mailer – Exim is a message transfer agent (MTA) developed at the University of Cambridge for use on Unix systems connected to the Internet. It is freely available under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence. In style it is similar to Smail 3, but its facilities are more general. There is a great deal of flexibility in the way mail can be routed, and there are extensive facilities for checking incoming mail. Exim can be installed in place of Sendmail, although the configuration of Exim is quite different
The GNU Privacy Guard – GnuPG.org – GnuPG is the GNU project's complete and free implementation of the OpenPGP standard as defined by RFC4880 . GnuPG allows to encrypt and sign your data and communication, features a versatile key management system as well as access modules for all kinds of public key directories.
