IMAP/webmail access to Thunderbird mail store

opelfruitcase · 27-09-2006, 19:46

Hi guys

Just a quick question. Does anyone know of any IMAP4 or webmail server (preferably small and lightweight) that is able to access a Thunderbird mail store? Reason I'm asking is because I'd like to access my home mail when i'm away from home. I'd prefer to take the IMAP solution if possible but the webmail would also fit my needs quite nicely.

TIA

iirc thunderbird mail store should be in mbox format, could be possible for a mail server to access that directly

Thanks for that, gonna have a play with php/sqirrelmail tonight then when I get back from the gym as that seems to be able to access mbox format files...

Yeah will do, after getting back from the gym though I'm buggered if I can be bothered to try it with Apache, and the php auto-configure stuff just ain't playing nicely with IIS at the moment - that's with the windows installations that I have that actually seem to work these days in my virtual machines. Am giving up for tonight having not even left the starting line, will try tommorrow using Ubuntu.

PS - Yeah I know I could configure it manually for Apache or IIS, but really - I so can't be bothered tonight!

Just a quick update, am looking at something called ArGoSoft mail server at present, can access mbox mail stores, and has pop, imap and web interfaces.
