the webmin / usermin combination allows a user to have complete control
over their 'fetchmail' actions. It has nothing to do with webmail. The
can keep using their stinking, broken Microsoft mail client and set up
their fetchmail to any rotation, turn it on/off as they desire. This is
a much better solution for users since they are in control and it means
the administrator can worry about other things.
the Horde/IMP etc. package is an ambitious workgroup collaboration
system and comparing it to squirrelmail is like comparing a Corolla to a
Jaguar. With a good IMAP server, they could still keep using their
stinking, broken Microsoft mail client - only in this case, their
'fetchmail' wouldn't run until they logged in to the system.
