Debian Administration

Very difficult question. We are using a themed version of squirrelmail (Voxthemes) for shared hosting. Roundcube is too much limited, Hord is too much complicated.

zimbra.

IlohaMail.. tough its discontinued up to my knowledge

I didn't vote because i hate webmail. Give me a real MUA with solid domain-specific knowledge any day.

That said, it's probably worth considering posterity if you're looking at available webmail options. The Edgewall folks seem to generally know their stuff.

OpenWebMail

Gmail

Zimbra!!!

I don't like web mail, it's too limited and never seems to work right, SSH/Mutt is a much better option.

However, when I'm stranded somewhere primitive or restricted I'll use Google's GMail service. I don't think it's perfect, far from it, but it is probably the best of a bad bunch.

I'm always tempted to write me own web mail service but then I decide it's too much effort for something I rarely use.

never heard of Overlook webmail

errr... Roundcube is awesome, how one can compare it to Squirrelmail?! It's above all of them!

Squirrelmail: GUI could be better, but it works nicely in shared environments. Tons of plugins and feature are available. Well done system and user configuration.

Roundcube: great interface, but kinda limited from my point of view.

Horde: too complicated if you only need a webmail. Also H3 framework eats resources.

Overlook: not mantained anymore. It was basically Squirrelmail with an improved gui. Not mantained.

What I'd love to see: a web mail with Roundcube look ad Squirrelmail functionalities! :D

May I advocate my own creation? Decimail Webmail:

http://decimail.org/webmail/

There's an online demo that you can try. Send a test message to webmaildemo at decimail.org and then visit http://decimail.org/webmail/demo.html

In essence, it's an IMAP mail client written in Javascript. It wraps up the IMAP in HTTP to talk to the server, where a small proxy unwraps the HTTP and sends the IMAP to your IMAP server. It uses the same trick as Anyterm to get updates from the server when new mail arrives without polling. (I wrote an IMAP server too, but this webmail should work with any. The demo actually uses Dovecot.)

Pros: GPL. Good interactive performance because many operations don't need to talk to the server, and when the server is contacted the data transferred is minimal. Great support :-)

Cons: Doesn't work with Internet Explorer. Has a few bugs. Not as pretty as some webmails. Few users :-(

Feedback welcome.

Gmail / Google docs / Team edition. Spam filtering awesome and admin-free; the GUI is great; you get cal/trix/writely++, too; etc., etc.

I'm stil using ilohamail.

Works fine with dovecot-imapd.

I guess I don't know $hit because I use Gmail. "Squirrelmail"? "Roundcube"? Never even heard of em!

I would say OpenWebmail also.. sweet stuff

Mutt with Anyterm or Ajaxterm my preferred webmail. ;)
