Does anyone know if there's anything around to make Thunderbird behave as a webmail server?
In other words I want to connect to thunderbird with a web browser to read the email in my onbox (and other folders). This is for remote access to my email, given that TB is running permanently (and is as much about accessing old email as new).
If not it seems like something that ought to be possible as an extension, something of a rainy day project, but I can't think of good Google query to find out if something already exists. There are plenty of plugins to allow TV to collect mail from a webmail server, but that's the opposite of what I want.
I don't know of a way to do that with thunderbird, thunderbird is (after all) a mail *client* not a server - most sane, sensible, well adjusted people would have the mail server using IMAP, thunderbird talking to it using IMAP, and then install something like squirrel mail on the mailserver / a webserver near it to talk IMAP to the same mailbox.
