NeoMail, Horde and SquirrelMail are 3 commonly free webmail client offer by most hosting company (limited to linux hosts only). 

1.  NeoMail
   Neomail has been discontinued due to long-standing security and stability issues, and the fact that the largest control panel vendor, cPanel, has also discontinued support for Neomail
2.  Horde
   I find Horde mail client (Internet Messaging Program or the IMP) is the best, It is written in PHP and provides webmail access to IMAP and POP3 accounts. It is included with cPanel and Plesk installations as a webmail client. It often integrates email, calendar, address book, notes, tasks, filters and a newsreader with cPanel.Check out screenshots here.
3. Squirrelmail
   The SquirrelMail client itself is a complete webmail system, but extra features are available in the form of plugins. A plugin allows non-standard features to be added to SquirrelMail, often without the need to modify the source code. There are over 200 third-party plugins available for download from the SquirrelMail website, and SquirrelMail ships with several “standard” or “core” plugins, allowing an administrator to add:
   • Spell checking (squirrelspell)
   • Mail filters (filters)
   • Web-based administration of SquirrelMail (administrator)
   • A calendar (calendar)
   • An interface to submit bug reports semi-automatically (bug_report)

Installing a Php MySQL + Apache development environment was once very frustrating (especially on Windows Vista !) until XAMPP launched.

XAMPP is an easy to install Apache distribution containing MySQL, PHP and Perl. XAMPP is really very easy to install and to use - just download, extract and start. The best part is IT IS FREE.

I have only tried the Windows version and is already loved it ! The windows version works on Windows 98, NT, 2000, 2003, XP and Vista. This version contains: Apache, MySQL, PHP + PEAR, Perl, mod_php, mod_perl, mod_ssl, OpenSSL, phpMyAdmin, Webalizer, Mercury Mail Transport System for Win32 and NetWare Systems v3.32, Ming, JpGraph, FileZilla FTP Server, mcrypt, eAccelerator, SQLite, and WEB-DAV + mod_auth_mysql

Screen shots.

Why I like XAMPP so much ?

1. The installation is really easy on my Vista notebook, I do not have to handle the troublesome Vista User account control (UAC).
2. Installation comes with latest Apache 2.6, php 4 & 5, MySQL 5+
3. Zend optimer is included.
4. Switching between Php 4 and Php 5 is very simple.
5. Apache and MySQL can run as service of run adhoc.

Google can sometimes think “www and without www” are 2 duplicate websites and it could harm your seach engine result position (SERP)! It is better to force your visitor (including google bot) to view only 1 version of your website.

You can easily redirect all non-www traffic to www version of your domain, along with links to homepage or sub-folder. e.g. redirect yourdomain.com/aboutus.htm to www.yourdomain.com/aboutus.htm

Append code below to your .htaccess file, replace yourdomain.com with your own domain name.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Code above works with any Apache webserver with RewriteEngine.

Anyone knows what is the solution for IIS ?
