Re: [Trisquel-users] What kind of email services are you using and recommend and why?

[scottfike]

   After doing some research on my own, I learned that SquirrelMail and  
RoundCube were both web-based email services that ran under the GNU General  
Public License. However, after looking over this website,  
http://thesimplecomputer.info/free-webmail-for-better-privacy#openmailbox I  
became under the impression that they are nothing more than an interface for  
other web-based email services. This has me confused.
   When I went to look at both their respective website homepages and then  
even checked Wikipedia for clarification, it just confused me even further.  
I'm not very technically inclined when it comes to webmail services.
   RoundCube's wikipedia entry says it "is a web-based IMAP email client."
   SquirrelMail's wikipedia entry says it "is a project that provides both a  
web-based email client and a proxy server for the IMAP protocol."
  This goes against the above website saying they are both an interface for  
other webmail and email services. I'm not sure exactly what to think now....
