The obvious: Getting mailbox content, reading mails from every POP3 mailbox and sending mails through any SMTP server (configurable in the user options)
written from scratch, spezificially to be used with vBulletin 3.5.x - not a port of something
fully phrased and templated down to the last bit
Full multipart support for downloading (and sending) attachments
When reading mail the mail text is parsed for BB-Codes, so you get the graphical smillies from the forum, text formatting and URLs automatically become clickable links
When replying to, or forwarding, mail the text of the original mail is quoted, propper quotemarks are added and a quote-header is added (customizable via template)
various options for admin and users to customize the webmail client
Does NOT require any special modules to be compiled into your PHP installation (like the IMAP libraries)
(for techies: this uses basic socket connections instead of special PHP function calls)
Admin can override certain aspects of the user config (forcing to use a given mailserver, force using forum email address and such)
Write your mails using vB's WYSIWYG editor
buildin (yet simple) addressbook for your E-Mail contacts
Read/Unread markings - unread mails are highlighted, options for "mark selected read", "mark all read" and "mark selected unread"
custom hooks to make it easy to develop addons for it
automatically adds links to the webmailer in "Quick Links" menu, navbar and UserCP. Usualy no template edits needed when using default ones (can be disabled for each link in admin options)
Planned features:
Support for multiple config sets per user
(and so multiple mailbox accounts that can be querried)
Sort mails into folders
User configurable filters (for automatically sorting mails into folders)
Preview of mailtext in inbox view (bellow subject)
Forward mails as PM / Forward PMs as mail
Reply to threads and PMs by mail
Give/Provide your members an own eMail adress and inbox on your forums!
Members can recieve and send mails as "username@forumdomain.tld" without the need for an own POP3 account anywhere
Admin only needs ONE "real" POP3 box as "catch all".

ChangeLog
===========
1.00 - first final release
Fixed some minor bugs
Login details are no longer stored as plain text in the database (*see note bellow!)
Added option to save login details in a cookie on the users local computer instead of storing them in the forum's database
* Note on storing the login details in the database:
The login details are only base64 encoded when stored in the database.
A more secure encryption would make no sense anyway, the login details must be decrypted to be passed to the POP3/SMTP server - one well placed line of additional code in the POP3 or SMTP class could save the decrypted info anywhere the admin likes.
This "encoding" is only meant to prevent login details to be read (in plaintext) when doing maintanance to the database and stepping over it.
For fully securing the login details the "Save in cookie" option has been added.
Known Issues:
On some installations mass deletion of mails (via "Delete Selected" from the inbox view) does not delete all mails
Sometimes you get "-4 mails in inbox" - reloading the page then shows the correct inbox again
Besides of those two issues, that do not really break the function of the webmailer, it seemed to run pretty stable so far - that's why I decided to release 1.00 without having them resolved.

Wow, would you believe it, I took a chance and installed this on 3.8.5 and it's working absolutely perfectly. Well almost, just one problem, it doesn't display html emails, so if someone sends an email from gmail, even though it just contains text, the message does not display. But if sent from Outlook or Thunderbird then it displays fine.
If anyone can help to solve the html/rich text issue I would love to make a small donation for your efforts. Thanks.

Yes I will second this on donations. I have not installed this mod yet but before I do I would like to know if this uses usergroup permissions. I dont want to show the mail options for all my members but rather only certain usergroups, does this offer this feature?

Yes it does, you need to enable it for each usergroup as it is disabled by default, You can also choose to display the link to all users or to only those with permission.
