Free Open Source Web Mail Application
Most web hosts have a default webmail client that comes pre-installed with your web hosting package. The most popular of these happens to be Horde – which is a dinosaur of a web app. A couple of days ago I came across an interesting open source project called Round Cube. “RoundCube Webmail is a browser-based multilingual IMAP client with an application-like user interface. It provides full functionality you expect from an e-mail client, including MIME support, address book, folder manipulation, message searching and spell checking. RoundCube Webmail is written in PHP and requires a MySQL or Postgres database. The user interface is fully skinnable using XHTML and CSS 2.” – RoundCube.net.
What is Web 2.0 What was Web 1.0 and What will Web 3.0 be
Version numbers are a funny thing. To developers they begin as Alphas, followed by Betas; all pre 1.0 releases. These initial pre-release terms aim to organize the development workflow through various testing phases of the project at hand, in order to satisfy a final 1.0 public release; Also known as a Golden Beta. To the general public, version numbers typically don’t appear until version 2 comes out. In other words, no one cares about a 1.0 release as a version, since there’s no prior version to compare it to. Take the Hummer for example, now at version 3, coin phrased the H3. The initial Hummer, now referred to as the H1, wasn’t marketed to the public as the H1 Hummer until Hummer H2 and H3 came out.
