I see. I don't want them in the same inbox. I want separation between the inboxes. I want something similar to Thunderbird but in Web form. Moon on a stick?

 

Maybe Gmail will do it to some extent and I need to fiddle.

Oh right, gotcha. Labels and rules it is then.

I thought it would be.

 

It's probably the sort of thing that once I've sorted it and set it up I won't have an issue with. Need to setup some extra email addresses to give it a whirl before I take the leap.

Afian looks interesting, but isn't free.

Or maybe I could move all my email addresses over to GMail/GApps and use something like Roundcube.

Yep, given that it's something I want too, I think you're out of luck. :(

(Unless of course someone wants to pay me enough to work full-time on creating this.)

I'm going to give a few things a try this week. Zimbra Open Source being one of them, along with Roundcube.

 

I think I'll have to have the actual email addresses hosted with GMail though because a lot of the solutions I've found are basically just IMAP frontends.

Don't bother with Zimbra. Unless things have changed drastically in the last year, it's quite painfully slow to use.

That roundcube looks good though.

I'll try Roundcube first then. I didn't hold much hope with Zimbra since the bulk of dev would obviously be for the version they sell.

Since I can't easily remote login to my home system and GApps isn't free anymore I'm going to try and give Roundcube a go, but that means upgrading my WAMP install which is very old and looks like a pain in the arse to migrate to a newer version.

WAMP, WTF?

I know. It was from my first venture into having my own webserver, many many years ago and I've never managed to get rid of it because it works well but it seems because I've not bothered to upgrade for so long that I can't anymore to the newer versions, or at least it'll be a total fucker to upgrade.

I want it to be quick and I don't want to fuck up my MySQL databases.

What are the specs on the hardware? Maybe convert it to a VM and run ESXi under it, then you could develop a LEMP/LAMP while still running the other?

I was considering adding another VM or upgrading my existing ubuntu VM because I didn't install an LTS version (fail) but I think I still want my stuff hosted on windows.

I'll have to check if port 8080 or similar is open at work and maybe adding another VM to play with roundcube.

Hardware is AMD E-350 CPU on an Asus E35M1-M PRO motherboard. Thankfully that CPU supports AMD-V so Hyper-V VMs work well.

RoundCube installed and I don't think it'll do what I want since it is basically just an IMAP front end.

I'm happy(ish) to use RoundCube as my frontend but I need something running in the background to download the emails and store them for RoundCube to access.

There definitely needs to be an email client that has a web interface.

PB: I'm guessing you didn't ever find anything to do this?

Nope. :(

Though given Google's continual fucking with Gmail and general insidiousness, I really would like something that'll let me escape.

Tiny storage though unfortunately. My Thunderbird profile is 4.14 GB :$ Yes, I should delete some emails and yes you can moan about that one!

I really should've put my domains on GApps before they pulled the free service, but with Google removing products periodically it probably wouldn't have been a long term fix anyway.

I just want a Thunderbird web interface :((

Nah my thunderbird profiles were ridiculously big too. I realised a while back that there was less and less I liked about thunderbird and I was basically only running it for the notification - gmail was collecting all my POP mail and then TB was collecting my gmail, which was kinda pointless. So I just started using gmail web interface and a decent mail notifier plugin for FF and... I've gotten used to it. I still kinda inherently prefer a proper email application but TB was taking up like a gig of ram and not really giving me much for it, y'know.

What is it exactly you're trying to achieve with your setup? I realised I don't actually know.
