It's similar to other Ajax based webmails currently in use today, but with full source code so you can host your own service. Screenshots, download information and suppot options (i.e forum, mailing lists etc) can be found in www.claros.org PS: Calendar and tasks support will be added in the near future.

I don't think any webmail service provider (e.g. hotmail, yahoo, aol, etc) would want to lose users. A lot of the big players rely on their webmail services for their online strategies and marketing. Good luck to Orgoo. It's great what they've created so far. This is a highly competitive area. I don’t think any webmail service provider (e.g. hotmail, yahoo, aol, etc) would want to lose users.

Could be useful for small businesses. Their logo logo is more than a little derivative of Joost though. The thick outline on a transparent text. Almost the same font. At least their multicolored symbol on the left is in 2D with less saturation.. Looks great. Could be useful for small businesses.

Read the article again. Its not just that they put these services in one place, but email/IM is INTEGRATED so your conversation can be stored with emails, searched (at least that's what the screenshots show), and forwarded to people. If you look at the screenshots, it shows you can also reply to emails via IM (I guess that works like Gmail does). It seems they also have video conferencing capabilities in their chatrooms (according to venturebeat: http://venturebeat.com/2007/05/14/orgoo-throws-im-text-voice-and-email-into-one-platform/) Also, how do you know they don't allow forwarding/pop/imap? Until I see the application, I can't say much. But from this article, I DO understand the praise. Deeter. huh?

A lot of users still don't use tabs effectively and with multiple browser windows open you might as well run something like pidgin locally. For those of us who work on many different machines, having an application that is machine agnostic where I can do the same work with the exact same functionality just by going to a webpage is a golden goose. For those people who love outlook and have many different email accounts with imap/pop functionality this will be very useful. The addition of chat means that I sign on to one webpage, check my mail, answer any pressing matters with IM, and then can be on my merry way. @Deeter - Most people want a one stop shop for their homepage.
