1and1.com, Their Open-Xchange Email Offering And Ugly Webmails Included With Control

With a competitive price, comparable to Google Apps Pro Edition.

In my opinion is a very good product, http://tinyurl.com/68d9h5

that unfortunately I can't resell yet

I still think that Scalix and Zimbra provide a better -final user- experience that Open-Xchange but in business, speed is a must, and having a product before a competition is a competitive edge. You can't keep waiting a company forever.

BTW, Just wanted to take advantage to comment how poor and oldie look the webmail interfaces, we hosting providers provide to our users. With the exception of Windows Email systems and Roundcube, most control panels come with Squirrelmail and Horde, look old. They are good and stable but they are and look good.

Some days ago, I got a new customer and after I gave him the login info for their Cpanel 11 account and webmail, he told me:

"..I don't like the webmail.. I use Yahoo email all the time, and it is easy to use. Squirrel looks simple, but it is "ugly"..."

I must admit, that I felt embarrased.

What did I finally do with him? Configured Google Apps for free for him. Now he is happy. But I am thinking is that if I start to find more customers like this, my business will end up in charging for configuring "nice webmails..."
