    SquirrelMail is a web-based e-mail client (also known as a Webmail program) started by Nathan and Luke Ehresman and written in the PHP scripting language. It can be installed on almost all web servers as long as PHP is present and the web server has access to an IMAP and SMTP server.

    The SquirrelMail program uses correct HTML 4.0 for its rendering, making it compatible with a majority of current web browsers. SquirrelMail is highly adaptable to specific needs because it is open source software, licensed under the GPL, and uses a plugin architecture. There are currently over 40 translations available.
