  First let me say that I am new to PostNuke and I must say I have no idea why I never tried it
  in the first place :)
  
  I am currently converting a set of websites that run NukeHall, a fork from PHPNuke 6.0
  
  I have a module that allows all members of a website to have webmail based on username@yourdomain.com
  It uses mysql and a catch all pop3 account. It is for PHPNuke and is based on B1gmail.
  
  Does anyone know of a verison of this script that works with PostNuke? I did find one, but I did not
  like the way it handles the login.
  
  A link to the module zip file is here http://www.tribicon.com/epakwebmail1.0f.zip
  
  Thanks in advance
  and sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
  
  Really have enjoyed installing PostNuke and have had no problems with it.

  There's a module called MailBag that does something like this, tho it puts the e-mails through to the Message Center rather than being true webmail.

  Thanks for the reply.
  I installed Mailbag but get the following error message:
  Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/tribicon/public_html/modules/Messages/index.php on line 54

  If someone comes up with a viable popmail solution that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, please let me know. I have been looking for one for months! I would think a bunch of us who need a good mod could get together and help pay for someone to develop one even. I don't mind paying for it, if it works well and is reasonable. I have even tried the squirrelmail solution and it just doesn't work at all. I might try the round of what I can find again on my new server. Seems like every server has it's challenges and this one more than ever because I don't have ssh access. Bummer! Other than that, I love my new server but that's another story.
  
  
  Thanks!

  Did you install this as a module or as a stand alone? There are absolutely no instructions with it. And I am wondering if I can change the language at all as there are no language files. It looks pretty basic otherwise.
  
  
  Thanks for the suggestion!

  Sorry, yes i did have to pick thru it and change a couple of the settings :) The language is all hard coded. It opens a new window for the B1gmail interface. The first file I posted was for phpnuke 5.x It uses the nuke theme and is really nice. The only file i think needs to be changed in the first file is the email.php file that calls for the user name and password, but I am not a coder and am totally lost trying to figure out how all of its done with postnuke. I had to hack the orginial file to work with NukeHall, which was based on phpnuke 6.0, so Im not afriad to code, just trying to get used to postnuke and the way modules work, it all looks like greek to me

  I just want you to know that this program has malicious code in the updated files of bg1mail. I installed it on my domain and got myself booted off my server. It had malicious code in a file called cronjob.php. It sends out thousands of emails every ten minutes or so. Your version may not have the malicious code but the upgrades to version 5 do. I informed hotscripts.com about it since they have it available from their website. This should never happen to anyone! Please let anyone you share this file with know not to upgrade to a later version. I feel terrible! I would never in my wildest dreams ever do something so stupid or harmful as to deliberately put malicious code on a server. I have had a domain for a long time and nothing like this has happened to me before! Not knowing is not an excuse though, so I thought you should know about it so you can warn others. Please be careful what you upgrade.
  
  God bless,

  Have any of you taken a look at Cas' implementation of MoreGroupWare over at www.nuy.info? I've begun playing around with it a little bit (very little) and I like the promise. But I have no idea of how to implement the email function. Yet.

  Hey guys, I know this doesn't really help you much, but I am still working on a webmail module for PN. The biggest hindrence is getting the actual IMAP stuff together. A system like squirrel mail is just very very complex.
  
  What I am trying to do in order to avoid writing my own libraries and stuff is actually take a full setup of squirrel mail and make it get configuration and user data from the PN database, rather than the config file. This is hard to do however, since the system relies so heavily on its own session variables and cookies. I'm making progress, but its slow going. I think that a working module is possible but it will be another two months or so before its really ready to go. However, that being said, I think its a good way to go, rather than just trying to pass a username and password to squirrelmail.
  
  We just have to make sure we keep it secure, otherwise we could have all kinds of problems with it. I don't want people to be able to spam and stuff through it.

  It does sound interesting. Is it a postnuke thing or a whole other deal?

  This sounds exactly like what we need, or what I need anyway. Are you using the latest version and is it going to be upgradeable?
  
  I agree on the security thing, very much! One thing is for sure! Security is a huge issue at any time and I think trying to pass a username and password just brings up another security issue.
  
  One of the things I like about Squirrelmail is it has it's own mods and lots of them. Some of them you wouldn't want to necessarily use if you have an integrated version into postnuke but some of them are very nice mods and really increase the functionality and looks of the program. Hopefully we will still be able to use some of them..
  
  Thank you so much for your work leason! You are a wonder! :D
