Needs to be cheap.

Seems that Webmin, Usermin and Postfix might do the job? Anyone have
some pointers?

Manne,

Sorry to late getting back, but I have been on a "family trip" which is
entirely different from a "vacation", especially when it requires a 14 hour
drive each way....

For you mail server, why not squirrelmail? Version 1.4 is stable, the
truck
version (1.5) from svn is really stable as well. I run it, it's light weight,
and with postfix underneath it is bulletproof. I've run squirrelmail for 7
years or so and I can count on 2 fingers the number of times the trunk version
has had a bad update, and, in each occasion, a quick e-mail to Paul Lewenski
(the maintainer) had a patch in less than an hour.

I can't say enough about eGroupWare either. Version 1.6 is out and it
is
fabulous. I have run my practice on egw for the past 4-5 years ever since
Version 1.0. It is a complete groupware package with all of the normal
calendar, contacts, etc.. plus project manager, knowledge base, time-sheet,
wiki and more... (all stored in a MySQL backend) The mailer is going through
an
upgrade as we speak.

There is also another mail package called Roundcube that looks great. I
haven't run it, but I have looked at it closely.

I like RoundCube. My webhoster uses RoundCube as default and I like
the design and speed and functions.

But I really don't like Squirrelmail, I'm sorry to say. It's way to
simple and text only. The basic Gmail HTML interface looks better.
They need to make it look better. Plus, in Squirrelmail (I've used it
before), when you have a lot of messages, it loads very slow.
