Teromail is a versatile webmail that offers summarizing, smart search features - available free of cost.
Teromail is a free summarizing webmail with smart search that offers a range of features for different levels of users. While not currently being actively developed or tested enough for production use, it serves as a prototype for a better user interface for webmail and an example of how to program with the php-imap library.
For beginners, Teromail is an easy-to-use webmail service that requires no user configuration. The toolbar for creating a new message, searching, and logging out, as well as mailboxes, are always visible. Furthermore, the user interface is tested with non-geek humans during development, ensuring that it's accessible to everyone.
Advanced users will appreciate Teromail's initial summary page, which often displays enough information to read messages. The summary also shows the real content by skipping quotes and newlines. The search function works like web search engines, being case-insensitive and searching both headers and body. The interface is usable in both graphical and text mode browsers, making it accessible from various devices. Moreover, the interface is light and clutter-free, while still displaying attached pictures.
Administrators will appreciate how easy it is to install Teromail. You only need to copy the Teromail directory into a web-accessible directory, such as ~/public_html/ or /var/www/html/. Teromail is secure, serving only as another client to the IMAP server, while still providing free access to business people.
Developers will appreciate Teromail's small codebase, which includes only 700 lines of PHP code, compared to more than 25,000 lines for a well-known webmail like Squirrelmail. Teromail follows the toolbox principle of using small, separate tools and using external programs and libraries when possible. It also includes basic mail handling, sending, and searching through the imap server and connection to the IMAP server through PHP-imap, a standard part of PHP 4. Optional components like SpamAssassin and Procmail can filter spam.
Finally, the latest release of Teromail has been tested with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Dapper, PHP 5, and Dovecot 0.99.14-1ubuntu1.1. This release fixes unexpected T_ABSTRACT and unexpected T_STRING header.php 4, as well as adding Ubuntu 6.06-specific installation instructions.
