Webmail / IMAPS software for end-user clients in 2016

Thu Jun 9 01:43:34 UTC 2016

openwebmail hasn't been updated since 2006...

squirrelmail is ancient and barely maintained.

Antivirus and antispam are handled by the SMTP system which operates on the
backend of the webmail, by the time incoming mail gets to dovecot imap
storage for the user accounts it has already been processed.
Antivirus/antispam handled similarly on other servers for outgoing SMTP
traffic.
