To Django users,

I'm interested in creating a new webmail platform based on Python and Django, which will be free software & open source - Speedy Mail 2.0 (Speedy Mail 1.0 and 1.1 were based on a Perl software - Endymion MailMan web-mail, from 2000 to 2005). I want Speedy Mail 2.0's features to be as similar as possible to Gmail - with labels, filters, 12 different stars, composing more than one mail at a time, etc. I would like to know if there is any free software in Python and Django we can base Speedy Mail on, or maybe something in another language (such as PHP) which we can convert to Python and Django? And are you interested in helping me develop Speedy Mail, or do you know where I can find developers who may be interested?

By the way, is there a simple way to convert PHP software to Python, or do we have to rewrite it again line by line?

Thanks,
Uri.

Maybe roundcube mail.

Great idea by the way.

You probably want to have a close look at Mailpile : 


(maybe the good solution is not to create a new standard but to join forces to existing ones)
