In worst case, use a "normal" mail account - either provided by your own server or by someone you trust, so google is out of scope. :-) Using POP/SMTP/IMAP always gives you the required ability to use the interface of choice, e. g. a standalone MUA that is accessible, and no requirement to do such stuff via the web, using the inconvenience and shortcomings of a web browser. I can only speak for myself regarding this suggestion, and I may also admit that I'm not fully happy with it. I would like to run my own mail server, but corrently I'm using the one for POP of the provider of my domain. I avoid SMTP as sending mail from my system (that runs a MTA) is considered NORMAL by me. Sadly, most others who suffer from spam do not think so, they reject messages coming from behind a dynamic IP, so I use my ISP's relay as smarthost for sending messages. This way, I can still use ANY mail client program I want - I get the messages using fetchmail and can then process them with any program, even "in parallel". For sending, I can even | mail -s bla b...@foo.bar from the command line. It may not be optimal for all imaginable scenarios (e. g. reading mail from a different system, sending from a different location), but as I do not require them, it's no big deal. Gary, whenever you have the chance to run you own mail system - DO IT. You have enough knowledge to keep this kind of stuff running, and it gives you more flexibility than anything else. For example, you could install an IMAP interface for mail stored on the server, so you can access it by any IMAP capable client you want, and you could even install a web mail client (e. g. roundcube) to bind to that IMAP inter- face. In my opinion, this is way better than the POP/no-SMTP thing I'm currently doing. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Personally, I agree entirely with the idea of running your own mail server -- so long as you have a sufficient level of competence, and I think most of the people in this thread would be entirely capable. Unfortunately that's not true of the majority of most ISP's clientele, and bitter experience has led them to clamp down on SMTP-from-home in various ways. Some ISPs are friendly to more technically adept users -- mine is a case in point -- but these are few and far between. Even so, you can still run your own servers. You can get a minimally spec'd machine (virtual or physical) at quite a reasonable price nowadays. Polytropon -- given your location, have you checked out hetzner.de? They've got some good deals, and they support using FreeBSD too.

Why not? :-) From my limited testing, I found it suitable for most of my "I don't care" customers who do not use indentation or quoting properly. But the advantage of IMAP (e. g. cyrus-imap, courier-imap) is that you can use ANY client program, therefore any web-based mailer you want. There are several others available, such as sqwebmail or openwebmail with different features... RoudCube was just the first solution that came to my mind, I didn't want to say that it's the only solution that does exist. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

In this case, an IMAP-capable *local* client program would be much better. With local caching, you can also improve speed. And even programs with good keyboard support are possible, even programs for use in text mode do exist (a welcome solution for blind users). Sadly, my dear customers wanted web mail, and they insisted on RoundCube, so they got it. They're slow in thinkind and reading, slower in typing, so the program speed is still too fast for them.

I guess if someone demands a crappy program, you either give it to them or effectively convince them to get it from someone else. I just don't really think it's a great idea to bring up software that makes communication difficult without being prompted for it when giving suggestions for how people should do things. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgpLID0S7HuN0.pgp Description: PGP signature

If Roundcube isn't a decent solution, what is? I kind of like SquirrelMail. It handles threading better than most of the open-source webmail systems, although that's a pretty low bar. ;) To be honest, though, a few months ago I realized that I was primarily using webmail (due to using a lot of different workstations), that spam was getting worse and worse, and that none of my available webmail and spam-filtering options were working as well as the ones that were on my Gmail account. So I switched my personal domain over to a free Google Apps account. I've been pretty pleased with it so far. There's nothing wrong with running a personal email server if that's your thing, but in my case it had long since ceased to be fun and was just one more thing to maintain. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
