Travmail is a PHP-based webmail client that operates on the IMAP protocol. Unlike other similarly built software, it offers unique and independent IMAP routines.
Travmail project is an IMAP webmail client that requires PHP but does not utilize the IMAP routines that are readily available in PHP. For users who prefer to install the software in a path other than the default /var/www/html, relocation is enabled in the RPM files. Simply use the 'rpm --install --prefix /var/htdocs travmail-version.rpm' command line. If you encounter any bugs while using the software, please feel free to email the developer below. If interest is sufficient, a mailing list will be established.
If you find the name "travmail" underwhelming, the developer is open to suggestions for a better name. Configuration options can be modified in the config.php file to suit your website's specific needs. Since travmail utilizes CSS for styling, it can be easily customized to fit your preferences. In fact, the only areas where CSS is not used are due to Internet Explorer bugs. You can choose from several different icon themes, and even create your own by following the naming convention found in KDE icon sets.
Keep in mind that the filtering code in the software may not be very user-friendly or as powerful as the Procmail filtering you might be used to. The developer doesn't recommend using it. Trent Hornibrook is credited for significant feature suggestions throughout the development process, and thanks go out to "purple" (the developer's girlfriend) for extensive beta testing.
Travmail was inspired by various email clients and the subdirectories reflect the open source packages upon which it depends. International character support is achieved using files from SquirrelMail, while HTML editing is made possible by HTMLArea. HTML to plain text conversion is facilitated by phphtmlparser.
The developer created travmail because of difficulties encountered while developing a different project: a RAC-based (that's Real Application Clusters) POP/IMAP data store for email. Purely for debugging purposes (and at the expense of some performance), there are a plethora of debug options in webmail_class.php. When load testing the software, make sure to use the script to strip out the debug code that is not necessary for production use.
