Horde Alternative?

[wsani]

Would Parallels ever consider offering an alternative to Horde or replace it all together with something like Round Cube? (http://roundcube.net/)

[Hultenius]

I would like to see something more user-friendly. Round Cube could be it - if it is stable enough.

The best solution would be to have a per domain option to select which webmail software should be used.

[wsani]

Yeah, I don't even care about the per domain preference. RoundCube is being used by cPanel already and it has a good development life cycle.

As long as Horde is replaced with something more modern...

[CSN-Carl]

There is nothing stopping you using your own webmail client now?

We replaced Horde with Squirrelmail and made it pretty with some third-party themes from Nutsmail.

[wsani]

If I were going to replace it, then I've already spent too much time configuring a front-end that I'm paying for. The purpose of a control panel is to make the management easier and not come up with alternatives on my own.

If this is the case, then I might as well scrap Plesk, pay $$$$$ to someone in India and come up with my own control panel software.

We are going to support AtMail WebMail Client (http://atmail.com/webmail_client.php) this year.

good ;-( an other application we must buy from parallels ....

why not use one of the hunderts open source clients ?

[Hultenius]

I like @Mail, and hope you (Parallels) have worked out a good deal for us (@Mail isn't cheap..).

[sergius]

Please suggest something.

[danliker]

as first i suggest to update horde (3.2.1) and add some of there projects (dimp, nag, later maybe hermes, whubs when they are stable) and add syncML for synchronization ...

after that take an eye on http://roundcube.net/ they are on a good way, if it is stable enough get them as a alternative webmail

an other one is http://www.squirrelmail.org/ but i never used it till now ..

[JLChafardet]

I agree with the multiple choice thing, our clients should be able to choose which webmail client they want to use, if they choose roundcube, horde, squirrel whatever they want to use, they should be able to use it.

Dynamic IMP is requested for implementation.
Nag is too young application. Let's will wait a bit.
SyncML is requested for implementation.
APS package SquirrelMail - 1.4.13-3 is available here http://www.parallels.com/ptnload?title=SquirrelMail%20-%201.4.13-3&referer=aps&link=http%3A%2F%2Fapscatalog.com%2F1%2Fwww.squirre lmail.org%2FSquirrelMail%2F1.4.13-3.aps%3Fpackager%3Dwww.parallels.com.

Seriously... We pay more for Plesk than any other web hosting CP out there. What do we get in return? A junk, non-current product that can't even keep up with necessary security patches. These guys have become con artists in the past few years. The still well support their HUGE customers; but, not the every day hosting service which made them what they are. Let them burn. I for one recommend everyone check out VirtualMin. It has all the features (and then some) of Plesk and costs a great deal less!

[wsani]

I'm not going to disagree about Parallels support their larger customers (cough MT). I also think that Parallels is possibly owned by the Russian Mafia :)

That said, I don't really want to switch to a different control panel anymore... I did find an alternative to Horde: http://www.sarito.com/index.php/screenshots.html

Just a personal note, roundcube and squirrelmail, shouldnt be on APS. its not really what should be offered. those 2 apps, should be offered server wide as horde is. NOT on a per domain basis.

my 2 cents.
