Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install phpwapmail on Fedora 34.

What is phpwapmail

phpWAPmail is a WAP-based e-mail client. It is intended for providing access to e-mail servers from cellular phones using WAP browser. phpWAPmail is written in PHP and uses standard PHP imap module to operate with mailboxes. It is placed on a web-server and acts as a proxy between cellular users and mail servers. This way it can provide faster access to the mailboxes rather than built-in e-mail clients and less network traffic. Edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpwapmail.conf to allow access by remote IP addresses. Edit /etc/phpwapmail/config.php to change some default settings.
