Re: [SM-USERS] Looking for a new version with AJAX etc.

Thank you.

This is a real pitty.
For years I used Squirrelmail, but now, when I introduced Roundcube to my users, they immediately wanted to switch.
It is done, roundcube is our new webmailer.

Good bye, Squirrelmail, it was a nice time after all :)
