UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Chit Chat Just let me rant for a minute.......

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

Sorry about that.

Hopefully you are more satisfied with your threads purchase and it's modifications.

dude,

this place rocks!

If everything worked out as good as this place has for me, I'd be in business!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

depending on how you have your server set up you might try squirrel mail. it seems very easy to use.
www.squirrelmail.org

I was also going to recommend squirrelmail

Well........where were you guys when I was forking over my life savings???????????????

oh how many lessons I have learned in the last 12 months............THE HARD WAY!

thanks for the suggestions guys, I may just switch.

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