I'm a little worried about UebiMiau since I noticed that my version is the latest version and was released in 2006.

I checked UebiMiau.org website and it appears somewhat neglected too. The first page of the forum is completely consumed with spam and has no genuine messages, the faq is 'coming soon' and the latest news entry on the news page is 2006.

This raises a few questions:

  1. Is ANYONE maintaining it?
  2. If not, isn't it risky to continue using it?
  3. If so, does anyone have any ideas how to migrate our users off of it, without losing their mail (since I think it's stored differently to the other webmails?)

Regards,

pete
 
1) I guess nobody
2) yes it is, I can find at least one public security exploit about it (not tested, I have mod_security that blocks the attack): http://www.milw0rm.org/exploits/4846
3) usually between webmails it's only a matter of internal database for bookmarks and such, but UebiMiau is also a POP3 client while all the others are IMAP... it may be much more difficult to do, don't know exactly
