This is the only Drupal webmail module that seems to be really working. However, the advantage of using webmail in Drupal, instead of some other webmail aplication, is the integration with the rest of the cms features of Drupal.

Would it be possible for the messages to be full nodes? We could then use taxonomy and cck to tag incoming messages, views to sort them out, etc... Who would need roundcube and squirrelmail?

Honestly, I hadn't considered doing that, but it is an interesting idea. It would take some thought and I would have to change how I approach it in code, but it would certainly be possible. I would still want to have the option of leaving it the way it is, but giving it full integration within Drupal would probably solve a couple of performance problems I haven't been able to figure out. I'll think about it and see what I can come up with.

Wouldn't storing email as a node present some security risks?

This will probably actually be in the 7.x-3.x branch.

Warren, care to explain the security risks of putting the messages in nodes?

BTW, I'll probably use entities, rather than nodes, as the data would be better handled that way.
