http://fastmail.fm OK, you can't install it anywhere, but it's far and away the best webmail service out there. Supporting evidence includes: * It plays nicely with IMAP and IMAPS * It's written in Perl (hence this post is not OT ;) and it's maintainers have contribued at least one module to CPAN * It lets you use your own domains, and there are lots of others besides fastmail.fm to choose from (like the particularly cool eml.cc) * It has lots of the Funky Filtering Features that you'd probably want to set up if you were hosting your own mailserver (like if a folder named 'folder' exists in your IMAP directory, mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets automatically filed into it, as does mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) * You can write whatever horribly complex filtering rules you want in Sieve, the Cyrus mail filtering language * It has SpamAssassin and virus scanning already set up and running * You can get whatever bandwidth and storage limits you want * If you're looking to do corporate webmail, you can get them to change the interface or set up a new CSS for your corporate L&F * The interface is very good, clean, and uses almost no graphics so downloads fast for people on a slow connection * and probably more features that I haven't mentioned There's even a free option if you want, but the paid-for options are not expensive. No, I don't work for them. I just think they're good. (But on the shameless plug note, if you do sign up, the correct answer when they ask you for a referrer is 'mas' ;). Michael
