SquirrelMail removed from cPanel
Under the sinister title of 'The Death of Squirrelmail', cPanel is removing the Squirrelmail package from future installations.

This was probably inevitable, but I'll always have a nostalgic attachment to SquirrelMail. For me, the decision to no longer include it in the Debian repositories felt like the final nail in the coffin

It's a pity. I always loved SquirrelMail but sometimes the best things end early. I'd be grateful if the project could continue...

More and more hosting providers are discontinuing SquirreMail. Now Rollernet throws in the towel.

I'm evaluating other "simple" interface webmail clients because I personally still prefer the simple nature of Squirrelmail. I'm kind of leaning towards Rainloop at the moment. As nostalgic as I am for Squirrelmail it's sadly just too old and abandoned at this point. If I wanted to keep current on PHP updates, for example, I just don't have the time or energy to unit test and backport fixes into Squirrelmail that was developed for much older versions of PHP. I've already run into problems with pigeonhole sieve becoming too new for squirrel and had to disable squirrel's sieve filter plugin in rather than trying to figure out how to update it. |
