Which webmail client do you prefer?

[carl owen]

Yes Carl, its very true
even i use SquirrelMail, but please tell me what you mean by " well balanced " for SquirrelMail ;)

Actually, I meant that it has quite good features with stability. It is not like some other webmail client which has loads of features but lacks stability which makes it different and better than any other webmail client.

[Joseph]

Certainly. There are some webmail clients available having a lot of features but the problem occurs when you try to use those features as they never respond well and then you feel that those features weren't needed.

I am using Horde from last 6 months and until now I had not faced any major problem but from few days I am receiving multiple spams daily. Is there any way to stop this mails?

Yes , you can stop spams. There are many ways to this:

• Use Anti-spam filtering
• Remove your email address from your website
• Never subscribe to any website that might spam
• Subscribe to Spam prevention service
• Never reply to any spam

Just a quick question here, sorry though as this thread is related to polls.

What about my webmails? Can I stop the spams there as well?
I receive about more than 10 spam emails daily

Enable Spam Assassin in that case. You should also see an option as Email Filters in cPanel. That should help prevent spam.

I use windows mail, however I if I have to go to my cp mail, then I use Squirrelmail. Personally, I'm not thrilled with any of the three options. They are very limited in my opinion, that is why I use the POP.

I use Roundcube and I don't really care for it. I've never really taken the time to try any of the others offered within my CP. Maybe I'll look into outlook, do you like outlook better than the CP mail?

[Jenny Walker]

Why are webmail clients always so ugly? Roundcube looks the nicest out of all three, but it's still not not what I'd call pretty. Organizing things is also a pain.

I actually prefer to use Thunderbird for my mail. It's better than Outlook, IMHO, mainly because it's free. Someone else might be able to give a better technical explanation of why Thunderbird is better, but that's enough for me. It simply works and that's all one really needs, eh? ;)

[brandys]

I've been using the Roundcube too and like Jenny said, it's ugly and the organization ability of it leaves something to be desired. Why are they so "yesterday" when everything else that surrounds them is so up-to-date?

[Bodhost]

Indeed, i prefer Thunderbird or Outlook instead of any webmail.

I'm probably breaking the poll here, but I prefer using Google Apps to handle my mail rather than the email of my hosting account. I know some people have reservations about giving the big G control over their mail, but I'm not that paranoid. Using Google Apps also ensures that my mail stays up even if my server or host goes down, which is a big consideration if you do a lot of business by email. You get free POP and IMAP, too, so you can use Thunderbird or Outlook if you don't like Google's webmail interface.

[Amelia]

Thank you for contributing towards the Poll Squishy.. It's always nice to know what people are using..

If I had to use the webmail, I'd prefer to use SquirrelMail over all the others. I don't know why a lot of folks seem to think it's ugly, though. Sure, it's not as pretty (read, bloated) as the others, but it's got a minimalist sense of style that suits my quite well. I do rather wish there was a way to customize the theme a bit, though. :P

I'm a member of the "less is more" camp, myself. I've used Horde often in the past, but lately, I've found myself enamoured of SquirrelMail. A mail client, IMHO, should do one thing, and that is allow you to read your mail. SquirrelMail does that, and that's without all the distractions and bells and whistles that other clients have. In fact, I've found that I was more productive when using SquirrelMail since the minimal interface made me focus on the message rather than on how pretty the page looked. :D
