What is the easiest webmail for users?

[luminosity]

Can anyone give me a recommendation for an easy webmail software to integrate? My clients want easy, so Horde is out of the question because there are so many options. Roundcube is nice but has several very annoying bugs. For instance, when a new message comes in, you see it in the tree but if you refresh your inbox, you don't see it! You have to navigate away from your inbox and back in again to see the new message.

I would gladly have my clients use Roundcube if it wasn't for that inbox refresh bug.

Also, is there a way to have users ONLY have the option of Roundcube and not all three email softwares in Cpanel? I can have users forwarded to the Roundcube login but when they log out, they could go back into their Cpanel and see the option for all three. I don't want my clients to be able to see that.

Are there any Roundcube-like webmail scripts out there?

I used to use Squirrelmail - roundcube seemed to lacking in features. However, the Squirellmail on H9 does not have all the add-ons that I was used to.

So, it was Horde. I have set it up for other people prior to giving them access and its not that confusing
- get ride of the side bar
- set it so email is the first thing in
- setup 'default user'

just for starters

I also setup a redirect for sitename.com/mail to take them right to the horde login.

What that ends up doing however, is bypassing their option of changing their email address.

You used to be able to enable/disable email options when creating a package but last time I checked I didn't see that option.

In short, configure Horde for them and have them use that.

p.s. Horde has a few missing features like asking me before sending 'read receipt requested' emails and it does not do a good job displaying HTML messages without having to click once again.

Hello McCarthySites,

Can you give a bit of info how you tweaked Horde (webmail) for your customers?

[McCarthySites]

I removed the left bar thing, made the default app on startup to be mail, configured the default user to be their real name (not <default user>), set it so deleted messages went to the trash, oh, I forget what else - but what I wanted was the window to look like 'mail' and not 'calendar/mail/fetch-mail/....'

And again, my approach of setting up a redirect for domain/mail to the horde mail has the disadvantage of 'hiding' the password-changing/mail forwarding that exists under the domain/webmail setup.

Hello McCarthySites,

That's a cool technique! I want to do the same. How did you "do it", actually editing that Horde mail script? Can you please layout the procedure? Pretty please ;-)

[McCarthySites]

I have very few clients so it was brute force - (create account, login in, make changes)

I wish I could have edited the horde configs...
