Clients often ask for webmail services to be integrated into their community sites, and they want it to match their interface and use the same login. | [reply] |

The single-signon issue can be easily resolved through redirects. The interface ... that I cannot speak to as I think most interfaces are abysmally designed, gmail being a rare shining light.
Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

It's not a question of us wanting to make a better interface than gmail, but rather one of meeting the demands of clients. Until Google offers a co-branding/skinning service for gmail, local mail systems will be required for this sort of thing.

Can i point gmail to my own IMAP server? | [reply] |

No, but you can redirect your IMAP server to gmail. This will also give you free backup of your email and free support / upgrades of the client. Plus, the client is the fastest webmail client I've ever seen.
