Best AJAX webmail clients?

[modem]

Hello all,

I've posted on this in many forums over the past few years, and I'm still wondering what the best solution might be. Currently with the revolution of the AJAX technology being applied to online apps (Yahoo email, Hotmail/MS Live webmail, etc) I'm really feeling like the included webmail apps included with DA are severly outdated.

So My quest is to find an open sourced, or even relatively cheap AJAX mail client comparable to Yahoo beta mail. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? So far here's what I've found:

- RoundCube - http://www.roundcube.net (v0.1-beta) (Free)

- Zimbra - http://www.zimbra.com (OpenSource, Free; Network Edition $625+. Includes email server & client.)

- @Mail - http://www.atmail.com (Minimum cost $300 for client only. Maximum cost for server/client with AV scanning and full featres $4360).


RoundCube seems to be good, but not feature complete. Zimbra seems to be feature complete and great for being free although it appears not to be skinnable/customizable. @Mail is like signing away one's soul to the devil for the cost. Am I missing any others?

I'd like to find an adquate replacement for SquirrelMail & UebiMaiu.

Brad

Roundcube is still in beta, but the latest SVN checkout (25 July 2006) works very well for myself and my clients. It's really a great email app, and my customers are very happy with it.

atmail is excellent if you are going to install it has a server package. I use the client version on a DirectAdmin server just because I have it and can for myself. I would not suggest it for those that are faint of heart with the cli, it requires a bunch of configuration to get working properly. The ajax inteface it not all that great.

Zimbra is not supported as a webmail only client and probably never will be in its current form as it is part of a server package much like atmail.

As for roundcube I have been using it for a long time with many customer that have large volumes of users, as a replacement for squirrelmail. It seems to work very well. Hopefully it does not get bloated like squirrelmail has.
