Default Seeking advice on webmail software
Hi folks,


Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64 (Host OS, mail server)
VMWare (virtual server)
CentOS 5 (Guest OS)


I'm prepared installing webmail on the mail server. Can folks on the forum please share me your experience. I found following 3 webmail software on Open Source;


Squirrelmail
SquirrelMail - Webmail for Nuts!


Uebimiau
UebiMiau.org


Roundcube
The RoundCube Webmail Project


1) Are there other software recommended other than abovementioned ?

2) Of the 3 mentioned above which of them will be the first choice ?

3) Squirrelmail has long history. Is it easy to configure?

4) Would it be a better idea installing webmin on the Guest OS, CentOS 5, and connect it to the users' mail boxes on the Host OS, Ubuntu 7.04 ? Or just on the same OS where the mail server resides.


TIA


Edit: Sorry, the topic should read "Seeking advice on webmail software". I can't get it rectified.

Yup Squirrelmail is good choice. I recommend using same server as mail server for ease of management.

Another option for webmail The Horde Project

I like RoundCube for the ajax interface and elegant design.

As for other solutions than what have already been named I can think of FelaMiMail which is included in the egroupware package.

Hi


Thanks for your advice.



Whether you meant;

Package: phpgroupware-felamimail (0.9.16.012+dfsg-1)
phpGroupWare felamimail (Squirrelmail) module
Debian -- Details of package phpgroupware-felamimail in sid


But I can't find this package on;

phpGroupWare
phpgroupware.org :: phpGroupWare


Any advice? TIA

You're on the right track there. Note: phpGroupWare is not eGroupWare.

eGroupWare: Applications

I found a package for ubuntu: Ubuntu -- egroupware-felamimail

Looks like it depends on eGroupWare which could be kind of overkill for you although it's quite a nice free groupware (used it myself for some time).

Personally, i like to install those web apps manually via the install packages provided directly by the devs (eGroupWare: Home).

I think apt should solve all the dependencies itself when you apt-get install egroupware-core or emailadmin.

Yes, "apt-get install" solves dependencies problem.
