| Just wondering if anyone had recommendations for Web e-mail frontends.
| I've looked around a bit, and Squirrel Mail seems the most promising
| (www.squirrelmail.org) right now, but thought I'd ask for other
| opinions.
|
| Also, I was wondering if people could share their experience with
| Web-based admin tools and with Web sieve.
I've been looking at several:
IMP - best of the ones I've seen - mature product, most of the features that
you will want, and in active development for new features. My manager
doesn't like their standard help options because he thinks our users
will be confused, but that can be changed. It is much more work to
set up than the others as it requires several other free software
packages to run.
Squirrelmail - nice interface, but there are problems getting it to work with
cyrus. Maybe it's my settings, but it doesn't allow me to create
new folders, and the mailing list hasn't been as helpful.
IMHO - again, good interface. There were some problems when logging out, but
they were helpful solving them. You have to use the Roxen webserver,
which is a nice product, but we were having trouble finding out
information on the way they implement various things - in particular,
Roxen can guarantee persistent connections to the IMAP server, which is
a theoretical saving of traffic.
Silkymail - mature product, works well, the interface is different and annoyed
everyone here who tested it. Worth checking out, however.
Emumail - couldn't even get anyone at the company to reply to emails, so I
never tested it.
I haven't heard of twig, so I'll give that a try at some point.
