Telaen - A full-featured yet simple web-based e-mail client written in PHP

Overview

Telaen is a web-based e-mail client written in PHP. What is particularly nice about Telaen is that it is fast, lean and simple, but also extremely powerful. It does not require much more than a "standard" PHP installation, nor does it require a database. It supports multiple folders, POP3 and IMAP, is SPAM aware and incorporates a WYSIWYG editor for Email composition. It supports multiple languages as well as multiple themes (or "skins").

Telaen 1.3.x is compatible with PHP4 and PHP5. Starting with Telaen 2.x, support for PHP4 will be dropped.

Telaen was originally based on Uebimiau.

We recommend that you read the other documents in the docs/ subdirectory, especially the CHANGELOG.txt and INSTALL.txt files.

Why you might need it

Other PHP-based webmails require database support as well as a long laundry-list of other PHP libs and extensions; not Telaen. If you need an expandable, powerful yet simple webmail system, Telaen will likely fit the bill.

And, if you are stuck running ancient Uebimiau, you should really move to Telaen asap.
