Robert,

How about web based e-mail.  

I use squirrelmail to keep the family from getting email viri.

It is web based and all PHP with IMAP support.  Works with about
anything buit I like Exim (MTA) / courier-IMAP for the Maildirs support.

Then all you have to open up is port 443, and not 143.

  My mother in law is becoming a computer expert.  She has a machine and 
windows.....

  At anyrate she has to have email, doesn't like her dialup provider.  I
am doing my own email already but all local.  I'd like to set up an ssl
IMAP for her and my sister in law.  

  On a Debian Sid box, is there a package that's quick, easy and doesn't
take much maintenance?

  Yeah, I've got the name of about 5 packages already but I'm wondering 
what the Guru's think is a good idea, not the authors.


Opinions?  (If it's not Debian I can deal with source/tarball/rpm easily
enough).


:wq!
