http://www.smartertools.com has a free webmail service for one domain. They are getting ready to release 2.0, so you might wait if you want to purchse it. It is great. We bought our license from http://www.helmtastic.com

That's a common issue with FREE products. Try MailEnable Professional, it has its own webmail.

I'll have to disagree with you on it, mwaseem. I have seen majority of free software well documented and with well organized source code structure. Understading the software installation, configuration and usage generally is a simple story, even customizing them to your own needs isn't a hard thing to do in most of the cases. Please note I am not saying that all free software are well documented but majority of them are. And this is one of many reasons why free software are famous and used by thousands of people around the globe.

Regarding free Web Mail client, jt2377, you have several options. Check out SquirrelMail (http://sourceforge.net/projects/squirrelmail/), NeoMail (http://sourceforge.net/projects/neomail/) or Horde (http://www.horde.org/horde/) if you didn't like Uebimiau (http://uebimiau.sourceforge.net/). My vote is for SquirrelMail.


Try MailEnable Professional, it has its own webmail.


I don't think you should invest in 'MailEnable Professional' if their 'Standard' version is adequate for your needs just because of getting their Web Mail as you have many free options available.
