It has really nice web interface, but lacks a lot of features. It lacks "multiple domain support", even though they advertise as such. The idea behind it is to have several domains pointing to same site. Domain pointers support is sold out as "multiple domain support". For every domain you have, you have to buy a new licence.

It is a really nice effort, but the price is very high. I would pay as much as $50 for it, not more. From what I have seen so far in web-based email systems, Gossamer Mail takes the cake!!!

There's no doubt that Gossamer Mail is a good product (although I'm not convinced it's worth $650).

I bought Gossamer Mail and I found it unsuitable for integrating into my forum. In fact I also own LinksSQL and it doesn't even integrate with that! My need was to offer webmail for two seperate sites with seperate vB forums only to certain vB usergroups which were different across those forums. Gossamer Threads actually provide a plugin that would work with one domain but it's not very clean or flexible. Even hiding one of the email domains from users on the other site required hacking.

It would have been much cheaper for me to get two HiveMail licenses and use their supported vB integration when it finally gets released (Chen, if you're reading this... hurry up )

So my opinion is that Gossamer Mail is great if you want to provide a full blown free email service to the world like Hotmail, but HiveMail is the best solution for providing webmail to your members on your forum.

Although GM does have some nice features that are lacking in HiveMail, such as SpamAssasin integration, but HiveMail is very new and it can only get better.

Hivemail is cheap compared to other products of the same family... I don't know about Gossamer Mail, but I've tested Aliasmail and it sucks, compared to Hivemail.... Its price tag is a little high too, $500 USD for a license...

Compared with the only other paid webmail application I've used v-webmail (http://www.v-webmail.co.uk/purchase.php), which my host has installed, HiveMail is exelent value for money.

The installation process was simple, the code is very well commented which is a real help if you wish to hack it and for exisiting vB owners theres not too learn in order to use it So far I'm very impressed with it.

Bought it last week. Chen has done a fantastic job here. I did the beta test for vb integration. He was extremely helpful to me, as he is with his with everyone, and I haven't regretted for one moment my purchase.
