Any nice webmail and office suite for webhosting?
Hello,
I'd like to know if there is a nice Ajax webmail such as Gmail's for web hosting companies. I tried RoundCube but it's quite buggy (I reported the bugs to them). Also I'd like to know if there's an office suite such as Google Docs but for web hosts. This is because most companies don't want Google to host their office documents. I found some but they are all hosted (no source code available)
Thanks,

I don't know any suitable. Zimbra uses too many resources.

I tried the demo here: http://www.smartertools.com/Products...Mail/Demo.aspx
Whatever you click in the left pane, it reloads the whole page. Maybe it's a different/stripped down version from the one the offer

Smartermail is not AJAX?
You may want to wait for Smartermail 5.0

Zimbra is bloated and doesn't work in Opera. Google Apps is better in this regard.

I trust Google (I can't imagine them manually looking at my data and using if for evil purpose). When you use Zimbra, you have to trust: Your system administrator and your web hosting company. And the fact that Gmail works in Opera is a plus for me. If Zimbra wanted, they could support the 2% of Opera users, it's just a matter of will power, Google and RoundCube did it, although they both have free products. Gmail's free of charge and it works better

Google's privacy policy does as little as it can for individual users.. I wouldn't dream of trusting them with company data.
"Google Inc.'s privacy practices are the worst among the Internet's top destinations, according to a watchdog group seeking to intensify the recent focus on how the online search leader handles personal information about its users." -: se article

Yeah I second the Smartermail / Sharepoint suggestion. SM also has groupware which allows you to share folders, calendars and contacts etc. Sharepoint is an excellent online team collaboration tool which is largely overlooked.

All are good well clients machine is clean, today with too much of popup blocker and with IE's enhanced security that disables normal browsing and normal user's machine is loaded with tons of addons and plugins, Zimbra etc take time to load and one javascript load failure can result in complete failure.
Where else Horde is most simple and faster mail client we recommend as many other options failed for our users as they dont have good bandwidth.
Depending upon your bandwidth availability, client segment, you can decide, if you have corporate customers, then you should go with Zimbra otherwise Horde is best for plain vanila mail client.
Cost and support of Zimbra is another issue... if you can get that company to give you good support then its worth.

What I dislike also about Zimbra is that it uses so much resources, and the Zimbra team made their application so complicated on purpose for you to need them (and to make money). I see it this way: If you don't want to share your code, this is fine, everybody needs to make money, so keep your software proprietary, there's nothing wrong about it. But if you want to make if opensource, play the game entirely, and make it as easy for people to use your software, make documentation concise, easily available, straight-forward. Otherwise it's disguised opensource and it's worse than closed-source IMO

SmarterMail works great. Haven't had any of the issues that you are referring to about the page reloading.
