Hey, all. I know that this is a bit of a dead horse -- between
(expletive-deleted) Outlook/Exchange in the workplace, and Gmail out of
the workplace, an awful lot of people just don't bother with
do-it-yourself mail any longer. But, for those miscreants (e.g., moi)
who carry on with their Quixotic preferences, I gotta give a thumbs up:
roundcube. I'd tried it four or five years ago, and had been pretty
unimpressed. Hoo-boy, has that changed. It's *slick*, it works
awesomely well, it's got a bunch of interesting plugins... and, well,
did I mention it's slick?
* Find-as-you-type address book (a feature I simply love)
* Really, really good composer and reader
* Threaded messaging
* Fast! It blows away all other clients I've used when doing IMAP
searches, or opening even pretty huge mailboxes (> 100K messages).
It can also do drag-and-drop attachments, LDAP, $BELL, $WHISTLE via
plugins.
So, if you're in the market for a web-based client, I strongly suggest
kicking the tires on Roundcube. E-mail is a pleasure to use again.
$.02,
-Ken
