| You can read your email online using Horde or SquirrelMail. Both of these popular webmail scripts allows you to read your email, save them, keep an address book, and perform all of the other basic email functions that you are used to.
You can also read your email offline via email applications such as Microsoft Outlook Express, Eudora or Mail.
You can automatically configure Outlook Express or manually configure other mail applications.
The main diference between SquirrelMail and an offline email applications, such as Eudora or Microsoft Outlook Express, is that all of these functions are performed online, rather than on your own computer,
and offine applications generally provide many more features.
Horde or SquirrelMail is optional. You can still use your favorite email applications, if you prefer. You can even use a combination of Horde or SquirrelMail and another tool – you can check your e-mail online, perhaps when you’re at work, and download your email to your computer when you get home. |
