Jay,

I agree, the last post on https://squirrelmail.org/ was an announcement for PHP 5.4 and 5.5 Compatibility  from 5/30/2013.

The last plugin update was 3/28/2014.  I consider squirrelmail pretty much dead at this point.


No. it is not. It is not actively developed, no new featured are added for quite some time. Squirrelmail can be downloded here:

https://squirrelmail.org/download.php

Where you can see year 2021 stable version snapshots. Latest you can download works with PHP 7. As I said in another comment: they do not do new development. But they actively support what it is now, and in my estimate it will not be phased out in any observable future.

Yes I had to do this kind of homework when I was rebuilding [freebsd jail with] webmail services.

PS Not everything that paces fast with new "releases" and which releases security patches even more often (yes, I look at you, Mozilla firefox and thunderbird) is "pretty much dead". There are great examples, like: netscape navigator (in its time), cvs (in its time and still here), subversion, squirrelmail, mailman 2 to name few.

I was looking at Roundcube but it seems difficult on EL8 because a lot

PHP stuff is missing and not available as RPMs. I guess the same is

for the python things needed for Mailpile. In the end my list only
contains Cypht, Rainloop and Afterlogic Webmail lite.

Have you considered to run the official Roundcube container image as a
podmans systemd service?

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your suggestion. No, I'm not really thinking about
docker/podman. I prefer having clean system installs, even if I have to
create RPMs myself. This has worked fine for the last two decades but
yes,
I'm afraid, this is considered old school these days :-)

Hey Simon, take a look at Remi's repository ...

Hi Leon, thanks.
I'm wondering why these things are not in EPEL?

Simon,

I'm in same boat as you. I have a C6 machine running squirrelmail that I've been trying to get upgraded. I bought a new machine and have C8 installed, postfix, dovecot, SA, the works, running.  But, I couldn't get squirrelmail running.

I'm also very interested in the answer to this question, "what webmail to run on C8" (or stream in the future).  I've looked at the same
SW apps you have and have not really gotten a warm fuzzy over anything.

I wonder if another tact to take would be to try to get squirrelmail more "modern". I know Les is still doing a bit of dev, but it does
seem like squirrelmail is lagging behind.

MTC,

Jay
