Best webmail to use with mail.app

I run mail.app at home but, unfortunately, can't run it everywhere. Currently I'm using some generic webmail app that came with my host. Problem is my webmail and mail.app don't play well together. If i read message in webmail, they show up as flagged in mail.app. If i read messages in mail.app they show up as unread in my webmail app. So i need a new webmail app that works great with mail.app and will run on my PHP host.

Any suggestions?
 
How do you have Mail set? To keep messages on the server or to delete them after getting them? Deleting them after you get them, will clear the webmail. Then you will know that new ones are there.

The trouble is Mail does not know when you go on the web to see your mail. You can send a message via webmail save that sent message on webmail, but you will not get a copy of that sent email via Mail. That is on webmail. You will have to send a copy to yourself.

Any email program will get your mail, but can not sync with what you read or didn't read on the web.

Did I just confuse you?
 
That's not my issues. ;) It's all imap mail and stored on the server and works great for sending and receiving. However if I read a message in mail.app then go look in my webmail account, the same message appears unread. Not a big deal, just an annoying technical issue. Just like reading a message in my webmail account, the next time i got to mail.app that message appears flaged. It's a minor issue somewhere, not a major one. I'm just looking for a good webmail app that might not have that issue.
 
If I understand you correctly, you're looking for a _server_ application. What are you using now and what system will it run on?
 
I'm looking for something good, like squirrelmail, that will work well with mail, meaning keeping read messages marked as read and so forth, and run on my PHP server. Nothing complicated.

squirrelmail is the only one that i've heard people say anything good about so i may go with that.
