The software construct of Squirrelmail makes it difficult to make themes for. As noted the core must be hacked to modify the look.

I have been testing @mail. It's pretty good. It installs easily and seems to work well. It has a couple of quirks. You have to use the all of the buttons inside the application. Using the back button on your browser takes you back to the login screen. It also shows some items in the inbox that have been deleted even though they are marked that they've been deleted. After it refreshes it moves them to the correct folder. It appears to support Maildir, despite what it says on their website. Pro version has more features, but seems pricey to me. $1000.00 for 1000 customers is alot IMHO.

Keep the comments coming.  Great topic.

squirreloutlook, is based on squirrelmail and they hack squirellmail core so the interface can be look like outlook it's not just another theme. and what bugging me is, squirrelmail is based on old version squirrelmail and never try to upgrade it to latest version.
I was using it, but now I am thinking to switch my webmail to afterlogic

I installed the outlook theme as described by Andreas, but it doesn't quite look like the screenshot in Sourceforge. I also have 34 themes in the them folder by default, so I had to make it [35].

Nutsmail looks like the cleanest, most modern looking option to me, but that's just my .02

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:

http://nutsmail.com
http://sourceforge.net/projects/squirreloutlook/
http://www.egroupware.org/
http://www.horde.org/
