looking for a webmail with multiple accounts support

Hi,

I would like to set up a webmail on my server which I will use to check my various mail accounts on gmail and others.
I tried mutt, alpine, claws-mail, but I don't really like "true" mail clients, I prefer to use webmails (so it can render HTML mails, and I can access it from anywhere). But since I have many accounts, I can't (and don't want) to use the gmail webmail.
So I'm looking for a webmail which could transparently handle multiple accounts from different mail providers. I will be the only one using it so I don't even need multiple users to log on.
Does it exists? What would you recommend? I don't know anything about webmails.
My server is running lighttpd, with php and python (webpy). I'm not afraid of modifying some of the code if needed.

Thanks.

Re: looking for a webmail with multiple accounts support

Gmail can access your other accounts via pop3. Having many accounts isn't a hindrance you can even set it up to send out as each of those accounts.

Sorry for the tangential answer, just wanted to clear up that part of it. No idea on the rest.

I know about that gmail functionnality but actually I would prefer to be "independant" and not using Google's webmail. But thanks for the info.

Re: looking for a webmail with multiple accounts support

You can collect mail to your server, sort it (say have one local account with one folder per mail account), and view it via webmail.

Check this wiki articles:

I don't use this setup so I don't know how it works, but looks like what you are looking for.

There is a Roundcube plugin for multiple IMAP accounts. But I second collecting mail to your local server via fetchmail/offlineimap/...
