What are some good web based email systems? I need to install one for a client. It needs to work with either sendmail or qmail, would be nice if it gave each user the ability to see a quota bar or something so they know how much space they have left to use. Also, the accounts need to be able to use the web based system or a pop3 client (outlook, eurdora, etc etc) so the accounts need to be actual pop3 accounts. Another feature that would be nice, but isnt required, is the ability to integrate with PLESK so that existing pop3 accounts will show up in the system already.

I've looked at squirrelmail and it was a butt to install, i'd like to see other options.

- Neomail
- Horde

Are good ones.

Ya. We have IMP/horde installed , it comes with PLESK, our client doesnt like it tho.

squirrelmail is good also

squirrelmail and horde.
Try neomail its good.
:D

Hmm, i've used quite a few..

I use neomail, it's really simple to use... horde is a bit over the top for just checking email ;)

squirrelmail was also quite good... but I don't like squirrel's so there! :D

There was some one i've forgotten the name of, it had a cat in it :p - but I didn't like that either, looked weird and had weird ways of doing things..

Squirrelmail is a great system. We have it custom installed on our Plesk servers. If you want, PM me and I will put you in contact with Plesk/Squirrelmail specialists who install it for a mere $30 per server.

my vote goes to horde ;)

I love horde :)

IMP 2 that comes with Plesk sucks big time. IMP 3 is better...

DoobyWho, give me some time to out the email address....

I've used horde and, unless it has other skins, it's just plain UGLY.

I like SquirrelMail.

Horde/IMP is the way to go. Second best is SquirrelMail.

LOL, that's why we replace IMP with SquirrelMail at our own expense. I haven't tried out IMP 3 but IMP 2 is simply poo-poo.

I recently purchased and installed HiveMail from www.hivemail.com . It is really quite impressive, and the next version due out in a couple of days (1.1) is going to have tons more in features.

Take a look. I think you'll like what you see.

Yep, heard great things about it too. :)

thats the one ;)

Vito - We looked at hivemail a few days ago and it won't work for us. It does not create POP3 accounts. So the users cannot connect to their email via a pop3 client. In fact, visit the following link to see our thread to them.

It's a great software package, but not one that will work for us.

Oh, that was you? I saw that thread. And BTW, those were in fact "good pre-sale questions".

Sorry it won't work for you. I have no problem with it. I recently set up a new site where I offer free web based email and free classifieds to a local community. It works perfectly for me.

Vito

Thanks.

Ya, it looks like a great system! I hope it works well for you!
