Hastymail2

About Hastymail 

    Hastymail is a full featured IMAP/SMTP client written in PHP. Development of the software began in 2002, and while actively worked on for several years, over the last few the project has been seriously neglected. January 2008 marks the rebirth of the Hastymail project. Our goal is the same, a full featured yet lightweight webmail client.  We are reviewing and improving all aspects of the original Hastymail project code, updating and adding new features and better usability, and making it possible to expand the application to incorporate add-ons and easier site integration. We are excited about the new developments!

     Hastymail is released under the GNU GPL license. The majority of the code in Hastymail was written by the Hastymail developers, however parts of the code are owned by different copyright holders, and one internal system is covered by the BSD license.
