Good people, I am in search of an application that can handle webmail for about 1000 users; open source, web based, preferably done with PHP and storing all data in a MySQL database. It is intended to be deployed in an intranet. RoundCube <http://roundcube.net/> seems like a good option, anyone who has used it? How is it? What other reliable apps are available?

I've used roundcube, you need to match it for multiple domains (I've got the patches somewhere if you need them) - its quite good and very small and manageable. However, if you really do intend to support 1000 users you need to think about how this will scale up -- there is no way one machine will serve 1000 users. It may be worth looking at Google Apps as well
Roundcube is good. I have used it and its really man, ajax and all...but if you have time, the king is Zimbra. Yahoo bought it, its what they call Yahoo! New. I have a download from when it was free. David. On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 2:21 PM, rsohan@gmail.com <rsohan@gmail.com> wrote:

Checked out Kolab, seems likes its primarily a desktop app, unless one uses the Horde client to connect to the server, will check out Horde and see what it has to offer. On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 4:33 PM, Christian Ledermann < christian@parliaments.info> wrote:

Unless I am mistaken, Zimbra is a whole suit of apps cobbled together, not just webmail as the OT had implied.
From the original question my understanding was that he only needed a web based mail UI, even based on the example he gave, in which case Zimbra is an overkill. I'd still go for roundcube with some plugins.
