What other webmail interfaces are people using? I have had squirrelmail running for several years on a toaster, but am building a new toaster and want a new interface. I think the final straw was my 65 year old mother telling me it looked dated and that she didn't like using it. Roundcube looks promising, but am wondering just how far along it is, Horde looks like a pain, and then there are a myriad of others. I wish SM would change the look, because it works well - something a little more Outlookish would be great, but I don't think they ever plan that. Just need some hints, and something that is easy to install and maintain.
Roundcube has had several major security flaws in the past that allowed persistent crackers to obtain shell access on a server. I do not recommend it anymore as I have lost trust in the code base at this point. Mine is not the only opinion, but if you do go with it I would recommend trolling their forums every other day to keep up on vulnerabilities. There are some skins for Squirrelmail that others have suggested. I've personally used Nutsmail (nustmail.com) with it and it worked well. Horde is a little bit of setup, and I think it's interface is kludgy, but it does provide a little more functionality. eGroupware is a little cleaner and provides a lot of extra functionality, but I have not set it up for Qmail yet myself. Someone else sent me a link a while back for another one that was perl based that looked different, but I did not test it out much. How about we keep this thread going and add links to the reply, so we have one lone list of webmail apps to try out. I'll start it:
