Alternative webmail project

[nobaloney]

I've never seen the Prayer webmail (ac.uk) project until today; so far I like what I see. It's open source, and written in C as an html to imap gateway. It's a project written at the University of Cambridge in the UK. As is exim, which was written by Dr Philip Hazel, when he was a professor there.

Anyone tried it?

Please take a look at the images and let me know what you think.

Gross and bland...

Wish someone would make a webmail that actually looked good.

It seems there was no any update since 27.06.2011. And why did they need to write it in C?

And why did they need to write it in C?

Probably because they believe it more secure. But you should really ask them.

Thanks, I'd prefer Roundcube and Afterlogic as they support Russian from the box and are written in PHP.
