Thanks for the quick response. I have not yet considered webmail, although I do have it available myself But then, I have my own website. I will have a more considered look at it. Re losing the local email, I use IMAP so do not lose any emails. I suppose I would need to explain a bit about that.On Wed, 9 Mar 2011, Neil Winchurst wrote:I do want to see lots of people move over to Linux. The choice of packages is important. I suspect that some will be looking for a reason to move back to that other system. An email client that seems unnecessarily complicated could be enough. CommentsWhy burden them with an email client? Get them setup with a decent webmail system and forget it. Then they have no local emails that'll get lost, can access it from anywhere, and when they're ready, transparently use a smartphone/tablet, etc with imap client to access the same email & folders, etc. Most webmails see to have the "outlook disease" - folders down one side, big window in the middle, options/headers at the top... I use squirrelmail for my clients (& friends & family), but there are a few others out there which other ISPs use. Gordon
I have used squirrel mail myself but cannot get it to show the extra folders into which I filter some of my emails, eg the dclug ones. I have also looked at Roundcube and Horde. Again, I cannot see the extra folders. This may be because I am working through my control panel. More research needed.
