Installing a Web Mail Client

[Cormac]

The hosting package I have at the moment does not have a webmail app installed on the server, i have full root access so it's up to me to install the app.

I was looking at Roundcube. It looks very nice. If anyone would care to recommend an alternative then fire away....

What would i need to do to install the web mail client and is it difficult to do? Is it just a case of opening up a ssh connection and running a install command?

Uebimiau

It may be too basic, but it is lightweight, only needs php installed.

I didn't install it on the server, but from the documentation it says that only 1 file needs to be modified to get it up and running.

Squirrelmail is simple and easy to use.

I'm currently looking for an alternative or mod that suppports mobile devices

 

[Cormac]

Both of those look pretty decent. I've used SquirrelMail before on BK hosting...

Does anyone know of a mail app which can easily cater for supporting a mailing list? Something with a tool to mass import an address book or thereabouts..

A discussion list or an announcement list?

 

[Cormac]

what would be the difference there?

 

[mneylon]

A discussion list is where members are subscribed. They post to an address, such as list@yourdomain.ie and all subscribers receive a copy and can reply back to the list.

An announcement list is one way only and is more suited to newsletters or announcements

 

[Cormac]

i would be on the announcment side of things so

Phplist is pretty good, as is DadaMail

 

[Cormac]

as regards installing the app is it just a case of uploading the files to a directory and configuring some files and bobs your uncle or is there some nitty gritty configuration required?

Most of them use imap and don't require that much work ...
