First of all, In the beginning of this venture, I was a little green, still am, but I mean it was really bad before. Anyway, I spent about a grand on @mail webmail software from calacode.

Let me tell you that it is the biggest piece of [censored] on the planet. And the first upgrade? To a completely different platform and everything. They were very "sorry", but in order to upgrade I would basically have to "manually" input every new user and run them both simultaneously so that if they wanted to check or keep their old emails for awhile, they could do so. Well, I didn't have too many email users at the time, but I was really wondering what their other clients did, the ones with thousands of email users? Anyway, it still sucks.

And I decided not to rant about the $$$$ I spent on chatblazer chat software, as I'd probably get carpal tunnel before I finished.

end of rant

I totally agree with Josh. Threads are good value for money for the functionality they provide and with this community it gets better and better by the day.

I did hear about chatblazer when I first started looking for chat sofware and decided not to go to that route. Although it was cheaper than the solution that I got, it didn't offer the functionality that I wanted.

Warm regards

So are you looking for a web-based email solution for users of your site? I have used a few, and know of a few which you may want to check out. BUt I'm not sure if that was exactally what you were looking for.

If you are using unix you could also try Horde/IMP at www.horde.org for your email solution.
