After seeing the recommendation for roundcube yesterday, I figured I'd
give it a try on my otherwise bone stock QMT install that uses
squirrelmail. It took about 15 minutes to get it set up and talking to
IMAP, SMTP, MySQL and to configure apache. All I can say is WOW. It's
worlds better than squirrel in terms of functionality and feel. I've
been using squirrel for YEARS now for my personal email and it took me
about 30 seconds to make the decision to switch to roundcube for good.
The tricky part, at least as far as QMT integration goes, is that it has
some specific requirements for PHP modules, some PERL (I think) and it
requires a database. That, IMO, makes it a bit too involved to consider
it part of a QMT suite. I'm no developer though, so I don't know what's
considered "complicated" these days.

I suppose that someone may come up with an html mail app that's
mobile friendly one day.
In the meantime, I'd be the first to agree that QMT could use a
better webmail app. Webmail is far from a core component though, and
barely a QMT component at all when you think about it. In fact, I put
webmail on an entirely separate host from QMT.
I'd like to see a QMT Webmail team formed, who would focus on the
webmail aspects of QMT (Squirrelmail, Roundcube, Horde, and perhaps
Nginx). Maybe come up with a webmail-toaster set of packages, or some
such. Any takers?
Thanks.

Why wouldn't you use the native mail program on an Ipad?
I use a native mail program on any mobile device. (K-9 mail on
android)

Roundcube sucks on Ipad.
Looks good on desktops and laptops.
I use both.

Hey Diana,
I am using RoundCube myself and I am very happy with it. It is
exactly what you said: A Webmailer without all the bells and
whistles
others offer.
Installation is easy and straight forward. You can try it out on
any
LAMP host and point it towards your IMAP/SMTP host to try it
out. Or
I make a quick account for you to see the UI ;-)
Sidenote: I have written an Opscode Chef cookbook for it too.
Cheers,
Sebastian

Anyone using something other than Squirrelmail for webmail with
Qmailtoaster? I'm working my way through researching the
options
listed in the Wiki but I'd like to get some feedback from
someone
who's actually using one of the alternative webmail packages.
So far,
it looks like atmail is gone (the free community version, at
least),
and AfterLogic lite, eGroupware, Horde, and RoundCube all look
like
they're worth taking a deeper look at.
I'd prefer something that looks a little less dated than
Squirrelmail
and that has a good mobile interface. Our Intranet is a hosted
Noodle
instance, so I'm not really interested in extra bells and
whistles
like calendars and such - just good solid email features like a
decent
address book (though a nice shared one in addition to personal
ones
would be nice), the ability to set a vacation response, basic
filtering, and allowing individual users to change their
password.
eGroupware is probably overkill for our needs and even Horde
may be a
little over the top - but they're also the two nicest looking.
I'll be
continuing to research but some helpful comments from the
Qmailtoaster
community would be greatly appreciated.
Hoping for some good recommendations,
Diana
