in thread Webmail clients (IMAP/POP3)

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.
