ABOUT
POPMail is a POP3 client to send and check your mail. It's written in PHP to make it easier to contact the server. I started this project to send mails from a website. Because I didn't find a program that fitted my needs, I started to write my own one.


REQUIREMENTS
You only need PHP 4.0.1 or higher and you must have access to PHP's mail function in order to send mails.


INSTALL
  1. Unzip popmail.zip to a temporary folder (e.g. c:\popmail).
  2. Open config-mail.php with your favorite editor. The following values can be changed to your needs:
    • languageFile: your language (for now only English or Dutch).
    • fixedServer: the mailserver you wish to connect to.
    • fixedServerPort: the port that will be used to connect to the mailserver. Default is 110.
    • fixedUser: the username that will be used to connect to the mailserver.
    • fixedSender: if you fill this in, you don't need to fill it in every time you write a mail.
    • signature: if you don't want to always write the same line at the end of each message.
    • footer: what you want to be displayed below each message.
    • addressbook: the path to your addressbook. This is only a blank file that will be used as base for other users addressbook.
    • logout: a timer (in seconds) before the program will log you out. If left blank, the program won't log you out.
    • encrypter: a string, could be anything you want and as long as you want. It's used to encrypt the addressbook.
    More info is included in the file.
  3. Upload all files and subfolders to your server.
  4. CHMOD your addressbook file (the one you defined at addressbook in config-mail.php) to 666.
  5. Go to your browser and type the URL to point to index.php (e.g. http://your.domain/popmail/index.php)
