    Ok, I had an Idea. Most people have more than one webmail account, gmail, yahoo etc. Wouldn't it be cool if you could check all these accounts at once, kinda like you can in thunderbird or outlook, except from a web page. Does anyone know does software like this already exist?

    You can open multiple tabs at once in FF, as home page or as URL file if that's what you are looking for..

    No what I'm lookin for is a web based IMAP client that can support multiple accounts just like windows based ones. That way you could log into a single webpage to check all your email regardless of how many accounts you have.

    You could just auto forward your mail from the other sites into a single webmail account and filter them into folders as they enter the inbox based on which account they came from or who there from??

    Not a bad idea, but what if I wanted to send an email from one of the other addresses?

    You could do that with thunderbird but of course only on your own computer which kinda defeats the point of the app which is for it to be web based!!!

    Mr. Google says look at these, but he could be wrong.
    www.thefreecountry.com/php/emailclients.shtml
    www.horde.org/imp

    www.linuxscope.net/articles/mailAttachmentsPHP.html - writing your own

    http://www.ypopsemail.com/
    this application is more like a gateway. It provides a POP3 server interface at o*ne end to talk to email clients and an HTTP client (browser) interface at the other which allows it to talk to Yahoo!

    YPOPs! was inspired by a Perl script called FetchYahoo written by Ravi Ramkissoon.
