A lot of our clients come from crappy hosts like GoDaddy and Network Solutions, both of which have very sophisticated and easy to use webmail.
SquirrelMail, Horde, and RoundCube are ok, but they are not nearly as user friendly as they could be.
SquirrelMail/Horde with a skin is somewhat ok, but we have to use 3rd party skins, and thus host webmail on a separate domain, which means it's not "supported" by our cPanel interface. It still works, but there's a possibility that a cPanel update can break it.
RoundCube is extremely hard to use for internet novices. The default skin doesn't even have text to create/compose a new message - clients don't know what the image means if there's no text representing the images!
So we're at a loss about what to do. Currently, we're running SquirrelMail on a separate domain, with a skin that makes it a little more user friendly. However, the integration with cPanel is just ok. I have a feeling that it's not using the limits correctly since it's hosted in a separate location.
Is cPanel actively looking at better webmail implementations? Something like Atmail free, or even a paid solution that we could pay extra for? Maybe Open Exchange?
