Aldo, if I were you, I'd get out of here asap, and maybe go back to a 
basic pop3
client that we all used for so long - ?outlook?.  They don't evolve. 
Horde does.
It sounds as though that might make you happy.  If you really need webmail, I
saw that someone mentioned squirelmail and there is sqwebmail that is solid as
a rock and I'm confident that you and Sam Varshavchik will really hit it off.

I personally prefer horde and I've seen nothing that IMO can hold a candle to
it.  I thrive on the dynamic development of such useful and integrated tools.
We are all different but we don't have to stay were we are no happy and don't
want to participate in community development in some small way.  In 
this case I
think Michael's email explained what you could do to help.

Have a great day and good luck finding a mail client that works for you.
