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.

    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.
        It's also a matter of storing company e-mail on the company's servers.

        It's generally a requirement.
