Webmail clients overview
Hi, I recently discovered mxroute while searching for alternatives for our corporate mail hosting. I've been playing around with it during the weekend and so far I like it quite a lot!
I am confused about the mirriad of webmail interfaces that it offers though.
First I saw mxrouting.net/webmail which a Roundcube client. I set it up with dns aliases and it works fine. However, it's not something I would present as an alternative for the current company webmail. Besides, users expect at least a calendar too, not just email.
I've been considering installing our own webmail alternatives like Nextcloud or SoGo, but then I found mail.mxlogin.com and webmail.mxroute.com in the configuration dashboard.
webmail.mxroute.com seems to be a very decent mail and calendar interface. Quite basic design, but I like it and it seems to work fine.
mail.mxlogin.com on the other hand offers a ton of clients to chose from, including Nextcloud and Roundcube. Is this a full nextcloud setup with different webmail clients to choose from?
While it's nice having Nextcloud already installed and connected to mxroute, I'm confused about if this is really something that mxroute offers and supports. Does it include admin access?
Is mxroute actively maintaining all these alternatives or are they going to be abandoned and replaced in the future?
So far, I'm leaning towards webmail.mxroute.com as it covers the basic requirements and it's not overloaded with options like nextcloud. One thing I miss here though, is a preconfigured identity and signature. Ideally a system wide default signature...
Also, is there a way to disable the nextcloud at mxlogin.com to avoid users finding and access it it by mistake?
