Roundcube Webmail Release Candidate
Release candidate 1 of Roundcube webmail project has finally arrived. Actually, it arrived a couple of weeks ago, but I needed to use it for a bit before I recommended it.
I've spoke briefly on Roundcube before, and since then I've changed hosts and with the previous Beta's I had a lot of trouble with the application not keeping me logged in and e-mail attachments not sending. This appears to have been fixed now.
The installation is still very manual, but if you're looking for a clean, AJAX-ee, webmail package, it's definitely worth a try.

Use "<" and ">" for "<" and ">". Enclosing PHP code in <code> tags will highlight the code (i.e. <code><?php echo 'hello world'; ?></code>).

Hey there,
I tried RoundCube a while ago, and was quite impressed as i was previously subjected to the horror of Zimbra's webmail client for their email server, which compared to RoundCube (connecting to their IMAP) is slow and rather annoying. However, it did have a more features, but still, i'd rather have something simple and fast rather than something complicated and slow.
Another interesting webmail solution is Laszlo mail, which works entirely in Flash. Sadly though, it is neither open source nor free, which is the major 'selling' point of RoundCube. :(
Still, one can only hope that members of the open source community pick up the concepts presented in these webmail clients and create new and cool open source alternatives. :)
