Thanks for the info.
I've installed Squirrelmail already and played with it a bit.
It does not support Hebrew well (an important consideration) and I know Open
Webmail does because it's being used in the Hebrew U. and I saw their web
site.
Also, I've noticed that it tends to hang if I display all the message at
once nd then change the sorting (only about 250 headers instead of 15 at a
time). I don't want to invest too much in it since apparently it doesn't
support Hebrew well.
I've looked at the Horde/Imp documentation and wasn't sure if Hebrew is
supported.
