Squirrel was relatively easy to set up compared to Horde, and via plugins, has pretty much every feature I want. Horde was a pain to set up, is big and slow, but looks a bit nicer than squirrel (haven't experimented with any skins on squirrel).
I also installed ingo and turba on top of horde too, and I'm a bit disappointed. Unless there's a misconfiguration, turba doesn't seem to allow you to simply add a contact from an email message in Imp. And turba's mail filters seem fairly limited. I was expecting something more on the lines of Tbird's mail filter capabilities. I suppose you could get that if you ran procmail or maildrop, or perhaps seive (which I know nothing about, and apparently requires the cyrus imap server). Roundcube looks very promising. Looks like the project is going for a web based T-bird style client. :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
