Hi,

(courier), but it was just way too ugly and i would feel guilty giving
that to the users.  Then i checked out squirellmail, which is a step
in the right direction, although still a little bland (maybe not too
big of a deal?).  A friend recommended Hula to me.  The interface is
beautiful, and i like a lot of the features.  Unfortunately, it seems
that it wants to do *everything* (be it's own mail server, web server,
imap server, etc.).  That seems like a lot of crap when i already have
*all* of that stuff working anyway.  Would it be worth it to run
anyway? Hula is easily moved to other ports so that you can have the
services running side-by-side, but is it worth it to do it this way? 
will i take a huge performance hit?  tips or experience would be

appreciated.


If you think squirrelmail is ugly, you might take a look at ilohamail.
It's faster and better looking than squirrelmail. I would use it myself
if it had a plugin to talk to my SIEVE server.

Use Horde.  The new version 3 is in Sarge.  It has a nice interface,
lots of available apps/modules and very configurable.  The university I
attended as an undergrad used it on a big iron server to provide webmail
access to about 40,000 users.

Ok, i feel like a jerk for replying to my own email so quick... but
here's some info i've dug up:

faq
Can I use Hula with an existing MTA?
Hula provides an MTA by default, but it won't be hard to get Hula to
play with an existing MTA. We will be providing instructions for doing
this sometime soon, watch this space!
/faq

So it's undocumented but i will play around w/ it and try to get it
working w/ all my stuff (hopefully not just the mta).  Still, if
anyone has prior experience or tips that would be a life saver.

Thanks!
