The best list I've seen: http://www.noupe.com/ajax/10-ajax-webmail-clients.html But none really compare too favorably with Gmail. Zimbra was looking good before it went to yahoo and then VMware.

Can you elaborate?

I can.

The problem with Zimbra is that it tries to mimick Outolook on the web, not to be actual webmail.

If you like Outlook, you'll feel at home, but compared with Gmail it just feels to old school.

And it is slow, even inside a LAN.
