We are a small rural ISP in mid-USA. We brought up both Roundcube in addition to our Squirrelmail installation. We give users the option of picking one or the other. For the first month, we also had a poll on the website for users to let us know which one they liked best. The owner expected 90+% would pick Roundcube. He hates SquirrelMail because he thinks it is visually outdated, and therefore ugly. I expected around 75% would prefer Roundcube. Actual results, from those of our userbase who actually voted, were, from memory: 78% SquirrelMail 22% RoundCube We had a few hundred users vote out of a few thousand users. We were both very surprised. The result would probably have been different if our users had seen both options from the start. But, they were already familiar with SquirrelMail. In my experience, most people hate change. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin lambert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep yourself connected to Go Parallel: VERIFY Test and improve your parallel project with help from experts and peers. http://goparallel.sourceforge.net ----- squirrelmail-users mailing list Posting guidelines: http://squirrelmail.org/postingguidelines List address: squirrelmail-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx List archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.user List info (subscribe/unsubscribe/change options): https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
