I have been using IMP (from http://horde.org), I have tried before Squirrelmail (but the interface is super ugly). Do I have any other options? Horde/IMP webmail is pain in the rear to configure, buggy too.
What else is out there?
I've used both Horde and Squirrelmail. You've already dis'd my favorite (squirrelmail).
IMP is pretty but the page sizes are huge -- on a slow cable/DSL link, it's painful... on dial-up it's practically unusable! Squirrelmail isn't as pretty but it's much lighter-weight and really has a lot of good functionality under the hood (plugins and such). My vote is also for Squirrelmail.
Another advantage of Squirrelmail is that it uses IMAP to communicate with the server. It can be run on a different system to the mail server, and if users have IMAP clients on the desktop and use Squirrelmail remotely they have access to the same set of folders.
