Tenon’s iTools WEBmail was developed by EMUmail, a vendor of Web-based mail systems. Plus, a WEBmail tool turns Mac OS X into a complete POP3 and IMAP4 mail server and a fully customizable, anytime, anywhere “hotmail” style mail client, Holmgren said. Also included is support for Java servlets and Java Server Pages with Tomcat, support for Active Server Pages with Halcyon’s iASP, and mod_dav to support the transition from a read-only Web to a collaborative, writable Web via WebDAV clients.
