Webmail is a great option for many people. It's only downsides are speed of display and a sometimes clumsy user interface. If that doesn't bother you, great. :) Personally, I'm a big fan of using dovecot as an imap server and operating from that. Thunderbird handles imap reasonably well. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
