ASP.NET Webmail Engine
<p>A friend of mine asked me today if there is any open-source or commercially available Webmail/Email "engine". When I asked her what she meant by engine, I got a list of features her boss asked for - </p>

<ul>
<li>Web interface to login &amp; access e-mails</li>
<li>Ability to send/receive/forward e-mails using the web interface </li>
<li>Ability to compose and save drafts using the web interface</li>
<li>Ability to delete emails, empty deleted items folder using the web interface</li>
<li>Ability to search e-mails (by Sender's e-mail, Subject, Content)</li>
<li>Maintain and manage a contacts list (of e-mail addresses) using the web interface</li>
<li>Allow users to synchronise their e-mails with iPhone/Windows Mobile smartphones</li>
</ul>

<p>I found <a href="http://anmar.eu.org/projects/sharpwebmail/" rel="nofollow">SharpWebMail</a> to have some of the features, although it has not had updates in recent times, last update was in April 2006. I am inclined towards using ASP.NET, the proposal is to primarily use the e-mail in conjunction with an intranet (developed in ASP.NET). If you have any suggestions, please let me know.</p>
