Roundcube: Mail.app-like webmail
As Brady J. Frey points out in a comment on another post, RoundCube Webmail has recently gone beta, with a release that contains many more features than the version Hawk Wings reviewed late last year.
RoundCube is a feature-rich webmail client that beats the pants of SquirrelMail. It also has a clean and pleasing Mail.app-like look:
It actually uses more Thunderbird-like icons, but since the designers of the Thunderbird icons took their inspiration from Mail.app, the “Mail.app-like” claim works out in the end.
RoundCube is open source and available from the RoundCube web site 
.
Alex King gave RoundCube a glowing thumbs up on his site yesterday.

Alex King is missing one thing — he could EASILY add tabs to that application, if he wanted too. That’s the power of this application, it’s CSS, php, mysql, javascript all rolled into one nice package so that designers like me can code it however we want. Simply recode some of the folder bound links to have tabbed top bar links like it shows in the Personal settings page.

FYI:
There’s an ‘n’ missing in the title — RoundCube.
Feel free to delete this comment if/after you fix that.

Thanks, sjk.
I’ll leave your comment here as a public shaming, which will encourage me to be more careful next time :)

If public shaming is the game, I’ll risk making myself a target by pedantically mentioning there are a few instances where the ‘c’ in RoundCube could be upper-cased (including in my comment). :)

[...] You can build your own package with the mailboxes, storage and features that you need. It offers Roundcube as an interface for its webmail service. On the other hand, you don’t get the WebDAV disk that an enhanced Fastmail account offers. [...]
