[ale] quick and dirty webmail solution?

I had to look, and sure enough...  Open Webmail is still around:  http://openwebmail.org/

 From my recollection, it was very easy to set up...  a handful of  
perl modules and make sure some standard UNIX utilities were in place  
(like wget, etc.), place it in a subdir, make sure Apache knew about  
him, and then he just worked.  On the native Mail Spools too.

There's a whole lot of documentation about the various features you  
can set up if you want here:

http://openwebmail.org/openwebmail/doc/readme.txt

and then you should be good to go.

For those of you that have been around long enough, this is based on  
the old NeoMail package by Ernie Miller.

Check it out.  There's a few demos, and I know I've had great success  
with it.
