I've tried to get thunderbird to access the mail server but it wont, it worked until you started this new webmail. I would prefer not using thunderbird/outlook etc as it automatically download all my messages off the server onto that computer when you set it up. I use multiple computers at work/away.
If you set up your mail in Outlook or Thunderbird as an IMAP acount and use imap.plus.net as your incoming server you can access your mail accross multiple machines as all the mail is kept on the server until you delete it. It wil also allow you access to any folders you've set up in your web mail account (and the spam folder).

I rarely use it myself, only just to check one account that gets spammed the most which I don't have open on Outlook Express.
It seems so dated to me. Reminds me off the old ping pong TV game that was one of the first games we could play on our TV sets. Games have advanced light years since then. Squirell Mail is stuck in a time warp!!!

Have you enabled the spam protection under Manage My Mail in Email Settings on the portal
Quote from: jimarshall I also find that I am now receiving huge amounts of spam and I cannot find any way of stopping this. If I am missing something then maybe it needs to be made more clear but at the moment I am very dissatisfied with the service.

How about a "block list" where we can put email addresses we know we dont want? dont know if thats possible, but its just a thought. other than that the rest of it is pretty good

On @mail - I HATED this system it was unusable in IE (stupid popups, slow, odd layout) and even though better in firefox (i.e. the simple interface) it just annoyed me all the time.
Squirrelmail. Brilliant! fast simple to use and has a good (if slightly ugly) layout. The ONLY thing this system needs is a better skin to please general users. Personally i love it the way it is. It works and it works well!

Ultimately, a webmail system is probably not intended to be your day-to-day e-mail handling system. My tuppence on the matter:
Advs of SquirrelMail
-- Speed
-- Simplicity
-- Fit for purpose
Disadvs
-- Handling of HTML mail (especially sending, but also receiving)
-- Look and feel (a bit bland, and sometime unintuitive)
-- Frames (just a bad thing)
-- Folder management
I know skins are there to address look and feel, and I've changed by fonts, too. It's hard to argue for a change in design, because it will ultimately impact on performance (even if just a little), but I'm thinking even small changes would help.
Shortcut options (as already mentioned by loads of people) for spam/not spam would be nice. And HTML support for receiving/sending messages is really a must.

Yes I enabled the spam protection we squirrelmail was first introduced and it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
