Hello Everyone,

I was using OpenGroupware but just hosed my system. Since I'm
starting from scratch I would like to know what everyone's
using for web based mail.

Hello, James.

I use SquirrelMail. Have a look, I find it very good personnally, and has a lot of features. It seems to be a very mature project to me:
http://www.squirrelmail.org

It is compatible with Postfix/exim/qmail. Else, here is what they say:

SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP4. It includes built-in pure PHP support for the IMAP and SMTP protocols, and all pages render in pure HTML 4.0 (with no JavaScript required) for maximum compatibility across browsers. It has very few requirements and is very easy to configure and install. SquirrelMail has all the functionality you would want from an email client, including strong MIME support, address books, and folder manipulation.

And these are the features:

Hope this helps..

I'm not thrilled with the interface.. a little old fashioned these days, but it is functional and if you want ease of operation, it is a standard package within CentOS. Just yum install it and it works. You can get to it via any virtualhost by using the included apache alias which allows

Easy for customers to remember. It does have different skins/themes. Some make it look better than others. And, yes, there are tons of add-ons.

Second to this, I would look at Horde. I think it looks better and has a few other nice features. I think Johnny is maintaining a CentOS install for this in extras. I have considered switching many times.. but Squirrelmail is just so easy...

Best,
John Hinton
