Webmail client to integrate in web application
Hi all,
today someone came to me asking if I knew any webmail client that he could use in his application.
Basically he has the mail server and everything, he only needs the client that he can integrate in his application.
I did a quick search and didn't find anything usable, because most lack a front-end part that can be styled and more or less adapted to the "host" web app.
The project is JAVA based, so anything on that technology is preferable :)
Thanks

No problem, I said preferable but of course I'm not limited to :)
Any suggestions?
My main issue here is that I need to embed it into another application and try to avoiding IFrames.

How did you integrate the security?
This website doesn't have integrated security and making the users login twice is not an option.

This where you need to work with Java app & email client login pages logic with send email server.

That's it, but did you do it already?
Out of your experience, does any of those options api supports that?
I'm trying to get your experience here because theory, googling and reading the documentation they'll manage :)

Yes, I understand your request. I have not done api way. Basically I helped the java team to customize/redirect the login page of horde email client with it's users accounts details. From java app, they will send user id with access token encrypted and I used to decrypt in horde email login page and check with my user account db (directory + mysql db) and redirect to inbox page.

Popular email clients are PHP based. Consider to integrate that separately as part of Apache server. If your java app is in linux based, then you can easily integrate PHP based clients with Java interface.
