| 760729 | 2009-03-30 05:59:00 | I have no idea what to call it! Looking for a program to run on my server (windows, but can vm linux) that can check my different email addresses via imap and giving me a functional web interface to check/send/delete emails from. |

| 760730 | 2009-03-30 06:02:00 | It is a bit overkill, but I use Zimbra (www.zimbra.com) to do exactly what you've described. The system is very resource hungry though, so you won't be able to run it on ancient hardware (I'm running it on an ex-lease P4 2.8ghz box w/1gb ram). You could also look into something like RoundCube. |

| 760731 | 2009-03-30 06:13:00 | The servers a 2.4ghz core 2 duo, 6gb ram so should do fine with hardware. Looks interesting. I'm guessing its the "message transfer agent" that is the part doing the job of taking my different accounts and bringing them to one place? Might get a vm going and have a play |

| 760732 | 2009-03-30 06:18:00 | It's actually using Fetchmail to grab email from other accounts, and aggregating it in one place. When you want to send an email, there is a drop down box where you can pick what email address you want it to send "From". The reason I chose Zimbra is because its UI is absolutely brilliant - you could technically achieve what you want using a basic Linux server, with Fetchmail to grab email from external accounts, a local mailbox and IMAP server (Maildir/Dovecot), then some sort of webmail client like Roundcube. Someone like Erayd would be the most appropriate person to ask about the details of doing this. |

| 760733 | 2009-03-30 06:22:00 | Yeah the ajax heavy ui looks amazing | dirtbag (6060) | ||
| 760734 | 2009-04-05 21:37:00 | Did you have any luck with this dirtbag? How are you finding it? | somebody (208) | ||
| 760735 | 2009-04-06 11:54:00 | There is also hMailServer (www.hmailserver.com)which I used for a while and it works great. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 760736 | 2009-04-06 12:13:00 | I would suggest Google Mail :D Free, reliable, does all you've requested from what I understand :) |
