Anyone here using Squirrelmail and if so have you any views on it compared
to other clients?

I don't think you would call Squirrelmail a client. It's an email server
with a web interface. My ISP uses it. Been around since Eqyptian times...

It's OK I guess, but renders some HTML email badly, or at least in the
versions I have used. It doesn't like Outlook HTML email at all from what I
remember.

It's not a client, it's a Webmail application.

I run it on my server, it allows nice secure access to my email via the
web when I am away from my own machines, without allow any of the evil
empires to see it.

It works, sometimes it displays badly composed HTML mail a little
strangely, but that may also be due to some of the settings I tend to
run with.

I had a look at a few others before deciding on it - the only one I
really remember as worthwhile was the Horde Imp
<http://www.horde.org/imp/> but implementing the Horde framework seemed
like too much work for what I needed.

Cheers,

OK. Delete the word 'other'

Thanks Gary.
My isp does webmail so it was never going to be a big deal.
I looked at SM and it looked pretty and has folders where my isp doesn't,
but I could always configure that with IMAP.

Squirrelmail doesn't have folders - the underlying IMAP server has
folders. Squirrelmail just talks to the IMAP server.
