Hello to everyone,

Which one would you set/recommend for your customers and why?

Any better alternative?

Thank you

I've used RoundCube and SquirelMail quite a bit, and I would recommend RoundCube, because users love the way it looks and operates. SquirelMail feels like an older application, while RoundCube feels brand new. If you give customers the option, very few will ever pick SM over RC. I have not personally played around with Horde << removed >>.

RoundCube definitely looks a lot newer than the rest. But most of them do the job anyway. I would recommend RoundCube just because its easier to use in my opinion.

I like Horde and RoundCube. I think that SquirrelMail looks as an old webmail.

I've used SquirrelMail and Roundcube. Both of these have been in conjunction with Hmailserver as the backend. Overall my experience has been that RoundCube is the better of the two webmail applications.

Roundcube seems significantly more polished than Squirrelmail, and more "Web 2.0" if that makes any difference.

RoundCube looks nice but tends to fail when you have 10,000+ messages in your inbox where as SquirrelMail doesn't look nice but works flawlessly even with 100,000+ messages in your inbox. I don't have much experience with Horde but it seems to be along the lines of SquirrelMail but with more features.

I tried out all of them and didn't like any. I just forward all my emails to another account.

I liked RoundCube best of the three.

RoundCube is definitely the nicest looking of the three - but did you try accessing it when the account it's based on is loading 10,000+ emails? (Generally it will cause the server load to spike and then it chokes out in my experiences.)

Most of my users use SquirelMail, they find it simple and fast.

I find RC the best and the easiest to use although I no longer use it as we use gmail for work. :)

I used to be a massive Horde fan, but once I discovered RC's layout and how easy it is to use, even for checking multiple accounts, I haven't looked back. Anytime I check webmail now I have CPanel set to autoload RoundCube.

I used SquirelMail it look more nice :)

i vote for SquirelMail :)

I prefer Thunderbird and POP3...but I'd go with:

SquirrelMail, RoundCube, Horde...in that order.

I used SquirelMail and find its easy and user friendly.

I prefer Roundcube -- it's much easier on the eyes -- but if I'm ever on a slower connection I just load up SquirrelMail.

Thank you guys,

Would you go a step further to recommend another mail client that can be installed easilly and provide some functionality as the outlook for example?

Anyone does this? Would you do that for a better customer service, lets say?

All the best

My new recommendation to clients is to change their MX and use the free Google Apps program.

We recently installed Atmail opensource project and it's running great. The only minor issue I have is it pops up an SSL error when using https. I haven't checked into that at all though.

http://atmail.org/ <-- Very impressive.

SquirrelMail has one big advantage - the BayesSpam plugin, great for filtering spam before you view mail on a mobile phone.

None of them forward HTML-formatted mail properly though, sadly. I have to use Googlemail for that.

RoundCube is the best of the best. Its nice and clean.
