Just to clarify for others reading this thread, Squirrelmail is a
web-based mail _server_, not a client. It pulls mail off an MTA (mail
transport agent like sendmail) by either behaving like an MDA (mail
delivery agent) or by using a real MDA such as dovecot.
Users then use their web browser as an MUA (mail user agent) to pick
up their mail from the server rather than a traditional MUA such as
mutt, pine, elm or graphical clients such as Thunderbird, Geary,
Sylpheed or (gasp!) Outlook (yes, I actually said the "O" word! Don't
hit me!)
Assuming I'm understanding what you're saying correctly, this isn't
correct. Squirrelmail is a PHP-based MUA that talks IMAP and SMTP to
the appropriate servers. It generates an HTML gui for the web browser
to interact with.
