I've tried both of those. I agree that RC is "prettier". No question that SM has a vastly richer feature set, especially with its wealth of plugins. If you are just looking to provide a pleasant but basic interface, I would go for RC. If there are sophisticated users who might want to give things a real workout, I would go with SM. Over the years, I've looked at a lot of webmail interfaces (though very few of the not-free-as-in-beer packages) for my humble and eclectic user population. In a word, they are all a disappointment along at least one of the dimensions of (1) easy on the eyes, (2) rich feature set, (3) admin hassle. Most of them tend to be written in PHP and don't really integrate well with anything else you might happen to be running. (i.e., if you have some kind of web site logon, the best you can probably do is stash the raw credentials somewhere and hide the logon to the webmail interface.) There are a variety of webmail packages that will do whatever some random geek (i.e., the kind of person who reads this list :-)) would want, but these turn out to be surprisingly confusing to the non-geek population. If someone finds this holy grail of webmail interfaces, please do let us all know. -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
