Hi,

Is there an application like Squirrelmail[1] written in python?

I want to access IMAP folder with a web-browser.

Google shows me some dead projects. Most webmail applications
seem to be written in PHP. Is there a useable webmailer written
in python?

The last release is soon four years old. I think it is dead.

Look at the last message in the mailing list:

This also requires Plone, so it might be a bit heavyweight for your needs:

Yes, Zope or Plone are to heavyweight for this. I will use squirrelmail,
I think it stable. I hope that I don't need to touch the PHP code.

Be careful, Squirrelmail had some annoying privacy bugs which the
maintainers (as of the last time I messed with squirrelmail, a year or
two ago) refused to acknowledge. I have no idea whether they're fixed
in the squirrelmail distro since then. I submitted some patches that
I guess I can post on my site sometime.

This prevented me from using Squirrelmail. Currently I'm using hastymail
also written in PHP. It claims to be secure but it has not so many features.

I'd like to see a rather simple Python webmail app. (without client-side
Javascript!)

Ciao, Michael.
