-Webmail sucks. We are Perl programmers. We like our mutt or maybe our kmail but at times, webmail is the only thing available. And the only webmailers available are written in PHP and they all have their difficulties and problems. In the Perl republic we have great components: we have Catalyst, we have Mail::IMAPClient, we have MIME::Tools and many more. The only thing missing was an application that pulled these together into a usable application: CiderWebmail

 =head2 What we want
 
-If you live email, your mailbox probably contains some thousands or tens of thousands of messages and being used to the features of modern email clients, these are probably contained injust a few folders.
+If you live email, your mailbox probably contains thousands or tens of
+thousands of messages. Since we're used to the features of modern
+email clients, these thousands are probably contained in only a few
+folders.
 
-Our goal is to being able to handle these mailboxes efficiently like a local client. We want our webmailer to be snappy with folders containing 10_000 messages and you being able to find the message that you need quickly. In short: we really care about the user experience. That means, not having to guess on which one of the 388 pages full of messages the important one is, having near instant reaction time, having configurable and themeable keybindings and an intuitive and if possible beautiful user interface.

 =head2 How is it done?
 
-CiderWebmail is a Catalyst application using L<Mail::IMAPClient> as backend, L<MIME::Tools> to parse messages, L<Petal> as template engine and much JavaScript and AJAX in the front end to make drag &amp; drop and on demand message loading work.

-We try to write really modern Perl, following the best practices that lead to code that's fun to work with. Thin controllers, no logic in templates, test suite, tidy and documented code.
