I also like horde, but I will say it's not exactly an easy learning
curve for most people. The new dimp client makes things easier, while
losing lots of features.
For simple, and easy to install roundcube is the way to go. If you
want max power from a webmail package, defently horde.
Quoting Spyros Tsiolis <sts...@yahoo.co.uk>:
Hi Stan,
i would suggest the (very) powerfull horde bundle of packages.
not only webmail but also reminder calendar and and many more.

That's what i am doing these days (trying to make dovecot work with
horde that is).
HTH,
s.

Greetings everyone,
I'm new to the list as of today. I just installed
Dovecot a couple of days ago
for the first time, Debian Lenny Dovecot v1.0.15-2.3.
So far I'm pretty
impressed. I'm using mbox format with Dovecot
auto-deciding to place mail in
user home directories, which is great. It works very
well with the Win32
Thunderbird 3 client over a small basic 100FDX switched
net. I've got one list
mail folder with 10,600 messages and server side body
searching that folder via
T-Bird is very quick, on the order of 5 seconds. It
would probably be quicker
if Dovecot threaded the search to use both CPUs, but
pegging just the one CPU
the search is still very darn quick. And this is on a
dual P2-550 class machine
with only 384MB RAM and a single 500GB 7200RPM SATA drive.
I'd like to install a webmail package on the same
host. I used Squirrelmail for
this purpose many years ago and I wasn't wholly impressed
with the user
interface. I'm also not impressed by the fact that I
regularly receive spam
from compromised Squirrelmail hosts/accounts. I
really like the look/feel of
the Scalix Web Access AJAX based interface, but I
can't/won't use Scalix as it's
not supported on Debian, it has more features than I need,
and the system
requirements are a bit steep.
So, what's the best FOSS IMAP enabled web mail front end
with a modern
look/feel? I'd like to run it on lighttpd, which I'm
already using, not apache.
Thanks in advance for any advice. My apologies if my
first post is a little OT,
but I figured there's probably no better place to ask about
the best webmail
front end for Dovecot than here.
