I think the reason is that no person has stepped up and offered a patch with AJAX. I think that the biggest reason for SquirrelMail loosing ground is that the UI is quite old-school. > Is there any development going in this direction, which I missed since > yet? I didn’t find anything about this on the website of squirrelmail. Our development branch contains code which makes it possible to build a more modern UI, but the persons doing most of the work in that direction aren't contributing actively anymore. It's a pity, but that just how things are. Anyway, check out the 1.5.2 snapshots to try out the more advanced SquirrelMail UI, and feel free to send in any patches you might have. > Just to test, I installed the Webmailer “Roundcube” and this looks much > newer to me. Roundcube certainly is eye pleasing (I've seen screenshots). I haven't used it or looked at the code, so I can't compare it to SquirrelMail function-wise.
