Accessing Wingate mail server from the internet

[Ronnay]

In october 2003 a certain valjean posted a question about using webbrowsers on the internet to access the WinGate mailboxes.

The last post in this thread states:

Yes, a Webmail addon is in development, and a large portion is complete. This has been delayed by the changes at Qbik with our distribution.

The future major update for WinGate is still a while off, but will include this and many other substantial features.

In the release notes of WinGate 6.0 (posted 31-07-2004 http://forums.qbik.com/viewtopic.php?t=2095) I read two important sentences:
"WinGate 6.0 is a major update to version 5.2.3, some of the features are listed below."
and
"3c) Improved Support for server-parsed CGI (e.g. PHP) in readiness for our Webmail product."

Now I have some questions about that:
I'm now evaluating WinGate 6.0.4.
Is webmail available in that version?
If so: How do I configure WinGate to make webmail possible.
If not: Do I need to buy Webmail as a separate product/plugin? And why can't I find something about that on your website?

I'm running WAMP5 on the WinGate machine, so I already have a working website (and domain). Are there extensions, plugins or applications available to use in Apache to access the WinGate mailboxes (SSL preferred)?
I know about using mail2web, but I don't want to use that.

Greetings,

Hi Ronnay,

Unfortunately we had to delay the release of the webmail for version 6, but we are still planning on releasing it, hopefully in time for the next major version release.

In the meantime there are no available plug-ins that will allow you to run a webmail service, hence the reason that you didn't find anything on our website.

You can set an address handler for a mailbox and then override the delivery settings to deliver to an external server, this could be a way that you can make your WinGate mail boxes available to remote users.
