webmail for my clients

I resell hosting to my web design clients. Previously I've been using whatever webmail client that came with the host.

What I want to do is get my own webmail client, install it onto my own domain and change the images so that it looks like my own software just for them. Changing the images isn't the most important part, but I want to have each client going to the same place that I get to manage.

Does anyone know of a stable, user-friendly, customizable webmail client that would allow me to set up any number of email addresses/domains?
 
Just to make sure that I understand correctly:

You resell hosting & webdesign, & want to continue to use true host's e-mail service. Only, instead of the host's web based front-end, you want your clients to use a customized front-end that you provide. Is this correct?

What technologies do you have available to use? My first thoughts are squirrelmail & horde.
 
One more question: what exactly do you mean by 'set up addresses / domains'? Typically this is something the actual host does.
 
yes. you are understanding correctly. I've tried out squirrelmail, no experience with horde. Squirrelmail would serve my purpose, but I don't like its interface because it's only text and I'd like it to be graphical.

To answer your second question, I would set up the addresses on the host, using a different domain for different clients, of course. But then my email service would replace the one provided by the host.
 
Round Cube is also nice. There are several other web interfaces as well. Because these are all open source, they could be modified to give the look & feel that you want.
 
Ohhh... I like RoundCube. Thanks a lot! Not only is the GUI very nice, but it was also the easiest to install! I think I'll be going with this one.
