I'm still amazed that in the whole f***ing world, only google was able to implement the concept of "conversation" in a email client. how hard is that to do?

outlook have some kind of follow up system, but ffs, it really sucks...

I heard of Claros webmail – http://www.claros.org – but the project does not look really active… Does anyone know more about it?

Atmail is nice, but it lacks the thread-handling totally. What I would like is just a client that puts the reply in the same folder as the answered mail is, and be able to show them somehow nicely. This not-so-difficult task seems however to be extremely difficult...

Well, as for gmail. The feat is nice, just people hate KGB-like institutions. I mean google knows where you live, where do you work, who are your friends, even knows what are you interested in and what are your thoughts and desires... No way dude, I use ixquick and my own email.

AtMail have released a really nice Ajax Webmail client under the Apache 2.0 license - Take a look at: http://atmail.org/ - Gives Roundcube a run for their money, and looks like its got the backing of a team dedicated to the project.

Guys just to let you know that AtMail when open-source last night (http://www.atmail.org/r/).

Note the same as Google, but at least folders work the way they should.

Late reply, but…. Why not look at the FOSS of zimbra? (http://www.zimbra.com) Not exactly gmail, but a competent webmail AJAX client… lots of features…

I’m really looking for a good webmail to install here. But, i already installed the Roundcube for 10 mounths and it still have alot of bugs, so now we are using squirrelmail back even find another else better. The squirrel is really very good, but out-of-date in design and technology.

Roundcube will be awesome when it’s further along in its’ development, but right now, it’s a VERY basic interface with some bugs and some problems. atmail is a nice interface with lots of features, but it’s not opensource (as of yet).

I hear atmail is working on an open source version which should be very nice. http://www.atmail.org

Roundcube is nice but still an infant, and it still lacks a lot of features. The AJAX implementation is very good though. Also, it seems to require a MySQL backend for storing stuff. In fairness, I love it’s clean interface.

Check out AtMail (http://atmail.com) too. It has great features. Unfortunately, it’s not totally free. The site offers a 30-day trial though.

You need to look into RoundCube: http://www.roundcube.net/
