Ask HN: WebMail packages for personal use

I can't think of any webmail packages that will read the data directly from MySQL. You could use Google Apps for your day to day email use and then use IMAP to grab a copy of the mail and store that in MySQL?

If you don't want to go the Google Apps route take a look at http://roundcube.net/ .

Edit: It looks like Roundcube can use a MySQL db to store mail.

Are you sure it can use a MySQL db to do that? I know it stores preferences in a MySQL db, but actual message data...?

You'd also need an MTA that can deliver the mail into the database in the first place...

Yep you're right. Sorry only had a really quick look at the Roundcube page.
