[gentoo-user] Best webmail

[Leandro Melo de Sales]

Hi all,

   I'm looking for a good webmail which I can use Courier IMAP/POP3
and QMail. I know Horde IMP, but does someone know others which is
better?

Thank you,
Leandro.

I've no first hand experience but have heard squirrelmail is popular:
http://www.squirrelmail.org/

It is in portage.

No. What's missing?

Hm - does anyone know of a Webmail system, which makes use of
"Web 2.0"/AJAX and behaves a bit like gmail?

Unfortunately after a nice release back in Feb the project is looking 
like it's dead in the water. Roundcube is a little feature short to be a 
full webmail system for real users though it's passable if you just need 
a web interface to get to your mail on occasion.

What makes you say that? The changelog seems to suggest activity.

God, is the drag & drop slick, tho'!
(or maybe I'm just an old-feller who never tried the latest Yahoo /  
Gmail offerings on a supported browser)

Since I use a real mail client most of the time Roundcube seems ideal  
for me. From the demo on their site I'm quite impressed - it seems  
very fast, although I find double-clicking to open a message in a web- 
browser a little non-intuitive. I would love it if they gave a  
preview of the message if you clicked on its subject in the message  
list.

Like Jamie I find Squirrelmail a little slow.

Hi Stroller,

I agree you, the Roundcube lives and happy. We are going to change the
current Squirrelmail to Roundcube, as soon as we finish the localization.
Every function seem properly working during the tests.

Best,
Tibor

	The forums were down for a month while CVS up and disappeared. Looks 
like they were transitioning to SVN which makes me feel better, but 
almost five months without a release doesn't thrill me especially when 
there are so many things that could be worked on. The changelog isn't 
very impressive either IMHO. I'd rather see features like global address 
books being worked on rather than what I interpret to be mostly cosmetic 
changes. YMMV.

I'm not _immensely_ fussed about releases if I can get an up-to-date  
version from SVN in the meantime. If a developer has to choose a  
priority between bug-fixing & releases I can sympathise with a choice  
to fix bugs or add features.

You obviously have hands-on experience with RoundCube, which I don't.  
How are addressbooks implemented at the moment? I would prefer to see  
then access an LDAP directory.

Squirrelmail is good, but I find it a little slow so have switched to
ilohamail which is substantially faster. Both of these are in portage.

Cannot find ilohamail in my portage, is that a mis spell? (can't find
alohamail either, not sure what other spellings to try)
