Null Webmail is a straightforward CGI software for POP3/SMTP webmail, providing an easy-to-use interface for email communication.
It is important to note that users should be aware of the cleartext passwords used in cookies that can compromise security. For this reason, it is highly recommended that you use Null Webmail on a web server that supports https. Additionally, it is important to include a trailing slash after the name of the CGI when making a hyperlink to ensure that the CGI remembers all of your settings via the cookie stored on the client's browser.
The installation process of Null Webmail is simple and straightforward. To begin, open the 'config.h' file with any text editor and make any necessary changes such as default host names, language, colours, frames/no frames, and return address host name. In most cases, no changes will be required for Null Webmail to function correctly, but certain adjustments can make it easier to use.
Once you've finished configuring the software, type 'make' to generate the 'webmail.cgi' file, and copy it to a CGI-enabled directory in your web server. It is recommended to copy the 'webmail' subdirectory to the root of your web server's htdocs directory.
As of version 0.7.0, almost all options in the 'config.h' file can be overridden by creating a 'webmail.cfg' file in the same directory as the CGI. Furthermore, renaming the CGI file should not break any functionality and may even provide you with a better naming convention for your needs.
Overall, Null Webmail is a fantastic webmail CGI platform that is quick, efficient, and available to users free of charge under the terms of the GNU GPL.
