I'm from Singapore and I use Squirrelmail. I've been using Squirrelmail for coming 2 years, but it has continuously posed problems for me.

I'm unsure if there's a better way for me to seek help because I've spent hours emailing my hosts / servers but I keep getting redirected to other places, I think I'm better off seeking help here.

I used to get a lot of unwanted spam, so much to the point where if I don't log in for 2 days, I'll get as many as 500 spam mails.

Also, Squirrelmail doesn't offer me the HTML (I can't change text colors etc like any other email providers can) or Select All Unread / Read option. I'm not sure what the updated versions are about, I hopped from website to website explaining how to install and such, but I can't even find the place where the code is installed.

My domain is hosted on Usonyx.net, but I use DirectAdmin to edit my files. Squirrelmail does not provide a 'Contact Us' email address, how can I rectify my spam problem and update my version? If it's on my DirectAdmin CP, where is it precisely?

Or can I switch to a better webmail instead? I'm afraid that if I screw up on the coding part of the installation, there goes my webmail.

I'm very clueless on the technical jargons that goes around. Hopefully someone can help me out, thanks!
 
Do you own the server? If so, then read the threads on these forums for using SpamBlocker and for using SpamAssassin.

If not, then contact your hosting company.
