Nameko was born as a simple PHP webmail.

Now Nameko is much more than this: it's a set of classes to manage e-mail with PHP.
Nameko project can retrieve message from a POP3 server, parse e-mails, send email through SMTP server, and so on.

The mail parser was totally rewritten from the original version: now it's greatly improved, and it can read every kind of email.

The Nameko webmail has also been totally rewritten: now it has a great interface, fast, powerful, with a lot of advanced tools.

Each component of the webmail is customizable, with a sort of plug-ins system: you can add only the plug-ins for the functions you really need.

The basic version on Nameko is always a one-file script: so simple tu set up!

Nameko technology

Nameko is a set of PHP classes. It requires PHP 5 at server side: it doesn't work with older version of PHP.

At the client side Nameko require a browser that support Javascript and CSS. The best choose is Firefox, or one of the other Gecko based browsers such as Mozilla or Netscape Navigator. It also works with Opera, Konqueror and Internet Explorer, for both Linux and Microsoft Windows platforms. I know there are some problem with browsers for Mac, and I'm working to fix them.

The communication between the browser and the server it has been used the AJAX technology and XML: that make the interface to be more responsive and hopefully easier to use. I'm working also on a traditional interface, to make the webmail accessible also for older and textual browsers.

What's New in This Release:
The method deleteMessage() of class NamekoPop3Interface has been upadated: now it has an alternative usage to make faster and easier to delete multiple messages from a mailbox.
