What I'd really like to find is a host that offers webmail that is worth noticing. I'd like my address to be myemail@mydomain but I have to be able to access it via the web. So far everything I've seen is pretty weak stuff that I would makes Yahoo mail look good.

Welcome!

You can set Hotmail (and Yahoo I think) to receive email from a POP3 account but can't reply.

Try a service like Webbox.com or POP3NOW.com (or something like that). You can configure those to receive and send email from your POP3 via the web.

We use SquirrelMail as our webmailer. Works great. Has all the same features as hotmail, except you don't reply with a hotmail address While browsing around for a host, see if they will give you a test run of their webmailer before you commit to them.

Allera,

We've been looking for an upgrade to our current webmail client as we are finding that a number of our clients are using it as their default mail client because it is easy to use and doesn't require configuring like Outlook, etc.

We've been looking at Javascript webmail apps, but Squirrelmail looks ideal-and the fact that it is open source and PHP4 makes it a better fit for us.

I just passed the info along to the techies. If this turns out to be our new webmail client, the beers are on me.

Phoenix: I couldn't say enough about squirrelmail. It's got plugins, it's fully customizable (provided you know some html and php), it's very fast, and it's IMAP. Just the plugin feature alone won me over. Best of all, it's free.

Also, I try to stay away from javascript. Squirrelmail itself is javascript-free. There are some plugins that rely on javascript, but either I didn't install them, or they were minor enough that I didn't care if a few people couldn't access them.

Let me know how it goes!

For those of you interested in taking a look at it, you can find it at www.squirrelmail.org.

Better than free, it's open source, woo hoo! We've got a PHP developer on staff who does pretty neat stuff with PHP and MySQL (mostly for his own amusement) and is a big believer in open source. So, if he likes it, he'll probably muck around with it a bit, beyond just customizing it.

Hi,

My current host http://www.kdawebservices.com uses neomail with there control panel and i have to say its very good, does everything i need it to for a webbased mail system.

Hmmm...Neomail might be worth having the techs look at as well. I sure like their tagline:

Neomail
All your webmail are belong to us

Neomail is ok, but the developer is somewhat uninterested in support/developing it (according to his site) so I am staying away from it.

Guess I'm old, but when it comes to my email...any company motto that includes the word "suck" concerns me.

I took a look over his site and he sounds like a lot of geeks I know. He's developed something, made it open source, you can use it if you want it, make changes, whatever, but he's found something else to be interested in, so he's not going to support it or work further on it.



I'm not exactly young, myself, but I was one of the first Beavis and Butthead fans, and whenever I see something that says it doesn't suck, I know exactly what they mean: it rules!

Allera,

Does squirrelmail allow you to send and receive from a pop 3 account?
