[sf-perl] OT: Lightweight webmail?

IIRC openwebmail (ex neomail) is Perl. Pretty lightweight but pretty  
old, not sure about quality.

Roundcube is pretty slick, I use it for one of my hosts.  A bit quirky  
but once you get it going it's fun.  Just remember to double click to  
open messages.

Unfortunately I don't think either is developed actively.  Squirrel  
beats Horde for my money but they're both UI nightmares.

It seems writing webmail clients is a loveless calling.  I guess the  
kids all want to write social networks these days.
