Everyone, Are there any opensource web based alternatives to squirrelmail. Do any of you use squirrlmail. How do you like it. Greg Ennis
I used it for many years, but switched to RoundCube as SM seems to not be growing much anymore. Been happy with RC so far. On 12/18/2012 11:03 PM, Gregory P.

Been happy with RC so far.I too use Squirrelmail, but found myself thinking more and more frequently in the last months to find an alternative, for the same reasons as Digimer. To Digimer: does RC include: - possibility to select all unread messages and/or all the messages of a specific thread with one click? - what about its calendar module? Do you use it? If yes, how does it work? To the list: what about Sogo http://sogo.opengroupware.org/en/clients/web/index.html Is it slower/more complicated to install... any comment is appreciated! Marco

It is probably the only one free/open-source solution which works well with Outlook sync and with Thunderbird/Lightning sync. I plan to try it out soon. Read this thread too: http://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot at dovecot.org/msg49002.html I have used Horde (in test mode, not in production) and it is good, but we had various issues, esp. when working with mobile devices. A bit complex in configuring / maintaining. We have also tested briefly FengOffice, which is slightly different: a groupware application, but it offers a web-based mail client with the ability to define multiple accounts. Other free groupware projects incorporating mail functionality: kolab, egroupware etc. We are currently still using SquirrelMail. I hate the GUI (aesthetically), but it works well and there are plugins for about everything one would ask. If only someone could create a nice contemporary GUI (HTML 5) for it! If someone wants Outlook / Thunderbird sync functionality, I would suggest starting from SoGo (even though I have not tested it yet). There are other open-source systems too which are not free: Zarafa, Zimbra, Open-Xchange etc. Nick
At work we have moved from Horde to Zimbra and the features are great. However I heard the configuration is a little bit cumbersome. I believe there is a vmware virtual machine preconfigured that you can use to play around. Regards, Miguel ________________________________ De: Gregory P.

How do you like it.If all you want is simple webmail than check out Roundcube, it's OK, has some nice features and it's easy to install. They still need to come up with a more widescreen-friendly theme, it can be a pain to use on 1366x768. -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology! Nux! www.nux.ro

How do you like it.An engineering company I recently worked for switched from squirrelmail to roundcube. The users liked roundcube much better than squirrelmail. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

How do you like it.We have been using Squirrelmail for years on two servers without any problem. Recently we switched one of the servers to Horde because some users said the Squirrelmail user interface looked too old-fashioned. Now we have problems: - much higher server load - considerable increase in support calls - users receiving lots of mail complain that it takes much longer to process it - users cannot change their own sasldb passwords anymore - users cannot manage their own SIEVE filter rules anymore I'm on the point of reverting to Squirrelmail. I contemplated Roundcube but read that it's a hog for big mailboxes, which would be a showstopper. HTH T. -- Tilman Schmidt Phoenix Software GmbH Bonn, Germany

How do you like it. >I inherited a server running openwebmail and have since added roundcube (so we now have both available). I actually prefer openwebmail myself, but many users like roundcube better. I looked at horde and zimbra but horde is too ugly and zimbra is to painful to implement (and no real value added from either). Squirrelmail is ok, but I think openwebmail is a bit better (from a user experience point of view) so we passed on that too. -- Steve Lindemann, MSIS __ Network Administrator //\\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Marmot Library Network \\// against HTML/RTF email, +1.970.242.3331 x116 //\\ vCards & M$ attachments http://www.marmot.org

How do you like it.I am getting set up for a major mail rebuild moving from F12/Postfix/Mysql/CourierMail/Squirrelmail to Centos6/Postfix/Mysql/Dovecot/Roundcube following this tutorial: http://www.campworld.net/thewiki/pmwiki.php/LinuxServersCentOS/Cent6VirtMailServer I am still working my way through understanding postfixadmin and how it builds the sql tables. I am not in too much of a hurry and hope to improve on the tutorial, like replacing his modified postfix.cf with postconf commands. It is nice that Centos6 has moved to defaulting with Postfix with Mysql support already installed. Doveoct comes as an rpm which is better than building CourierMail. But I am interersted in what others have experienced for the webmail usage. I don't have many users on my handful of domains, so I am not concerned about heavy loads. But a good experience is just that. Good. :)
Everyone, Are there any opensource web based alternatives to squirrelmail. Do any of you use squirrlmail. How do you like it. Greg Ennis -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey, Thanks to everyone for your responses. You have given me a great launching pad. I think I will start with squirrelmail, and probably test of the others. Thanks again very much!!! Greg
