About the Roundcube webmail project

This project is a free and open source webmail solution with a desktop-like user interface which is easy to install/configure and that runs on a standard LAMPP server. The skins use the latest web standards such as XHTML and CSS 2. Roundcube includes other open-source libraries such as PEAR and the IMAP wrapper from IlohaMail.org.
