If our clients could use webmail instead of outlook and get the same experience then it would be no brainer to sell more seats.

Can it be done? How long will it take and why the hell does the webmail interface look like something from the 90's??

Please don't. Or at least make it optional. I hate outlook.

I think the point was just modernizing the look of webmail, not copying outlook directly.

Ah, Richard, I didn't read it that way. But I will say of the few webmail systems I use, SmarterMail is by far the most modern, but is lacking some seriously useful features the others have, like "send again" ("send as new").

No problem Patrick, our biggest problem we've had is clients keep complaining they keep getting logged out, we never could find a reason even with SM support. i'm hoping an revamp of the entire webmail system might make it more reliable. We've lost a few big clients because of that specific problem. But the other missing features would be very nice to have as well.

I've just come from Rackspace Mail and I can say that the SmarterMail webmail is awesome in comparison. Loads fast, feature rich, easy to use and in my case, reliable. I mean even with gmail, I am very often logged out randomly and thats annoying.

I think probably what you are asking is the ability to be able to "themify" the SmarterMail?
Exactly.
