Actually just fyi - according to their website it will work with PHP 5.4: http://squirrelmail.org: Mar 29, 2012 by Paul Lesniewski With the recent release of PHP version 5.4, some community members have helped identify some small issues which we've fixed and made available in our daily snapshot packages located on our downloads page. Especially if you use the Mail Fetch plugin and want to upgrade to PHP 5.4, you should download one of our snapshot packages. What do you all recommend for webmail - roundcube or something else? gene

it's quite a bit more than just webmail, but i used it some time ago with great success (the AUR package is originally by me, and interestingly enough, also my first one :-) ... demo: https://demo.zarafa.com/ AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=31174 other: http://community.zarafa.com/ http://download.zarafa.com/community/ ... easily the nicest mail webapp i've ever used, and intergrates well with MTAs, including Exchange. they are the originators of zPush, which implements the ActiveSync protocol (mail, calendar, etc). -- C Anthony

pkgstats is wrong. I use it, and have for years. DR

Nope.

pkgstats only shows packages with more than 1% usage. Squirrelmail might have users but it's less than 1%, i.e. not enough to keep it in repo.

Or, maybe, only 1% of Arch users use pkgstats and it's dangerous to take decisions based on it :)
