[SLL] light and modular webmail for children?

[Derek Simkowiak]

    Squirrelmail is simple and easily hacked.  It's easy to write 
plugins for it.  It's PHP.

    Roundcube is much prettier.  The GUI is very Mac-like in design and 
it uses Ajax and drag'n'drop.  Since the GUI is more polished, I don't 
think it's as easily hacked... you might change one font and break the 
GUI.  It's PHP+MySQL.
