Welcome! Have a look at RoundCube webmail. I used to use squirrelmail but had the same issues as you. RoundCube is very nice.
I second that emotion
After a bit of researching, I've decided to go with Roundcube. However, my Linux distribution doesn't have a standard package of Roundcube, only a backport of Roundcube, version 0.2.2.
Normally I really prefer to stick with distro packages for my application needs, for a variety of reasons, mainly easy installation of security updates and dependency resolution.
Aptitude handles dependencies very well, so I'd really like to go with the Debian backport of Roundcube 2.2, **unless** there are majorly needed functionality upgrades or major bug fixes in the 0.3.1 available directly from the roundcube.net download section.
What will I be missing if I go with the Debian 0.2.2 backport instead of the current 0.3.1? Are there any other Debian users here who have recommendations or advice? Are there any installation gotchas via either the backport method or the straight install method via the roundcube.net files?
Thanks for any/all advice.
