Are there any web based email clients written in python?

Question

I need to integrate a email client in my current python web app. Anything available?

L.E.: I'm building my app on top of CherryPy

Answer 1

You can build one, using email for generating and parsing mail, imaplib for reading (and managing) incoming mail from your mail server, and smtplib for sending mail to the world.

Answer 2

Looking up webmail on pypi gives Posterity.

There is very probably some way to build a webmail with very little work using Zope3 components, or some other CMS.

I guess if you are writing a webapp, you are probably using one of the popular frameworks. We would need to know which one to give a more specific answer.

Answer 3

You could try Quotient. It's a somewhat unusual webmail system, and it definitely won't fit into the same process as CherryPy - but it is in Python ;).
