One of my hosts doesn’t provide any web mail client that would work well on mobile devices - I think they offer only a modded version of RoundCube without any mobile skin. So I would like to install on the server something free and possibly simple that would connect with SMTP and work well on mobile phones. I don’t need any integration with mail server settings, just the ability to read and write email.
Any suggestions?
Don’t use PHP as this is not installed on mobile devices and PHP itself (as a server-side language) does not care what kind of device connects to it.
So basically you are saying that PHP is not suitable for creating a backend for a mobile app/mobile site/a site with responsive design?
A most unexpected reply! I thought it was obvious I was not trying run PHP in a mobile browser. PHP is installed on the server… 
I think people are getting their wires crossed here.
I believe what @Dormilich means is that you would not create a mail client app to be installed a mobile in PHP, as it will probably not run without the mobile running php.
But an app or browser on mobile could connect to a site or API on a remote server running PHP. I thnk that is what @Lemon_Juice wants.
Edit ^ Yes, so it seems.
You have no idea what assumptions some people make.
Anyways, since we know that PHP is on the server, the responsibility of a “web mail client that would work well on mobile devices” is not a matter of PHP but the client that connects to it. Depending on the language this client is to be written in (Objective-C, Java, browser-based, etc.), this thread should rather be moved to that topic.
Oh, I don’t know if I didn’t make myself clear enough because you still don’t understand… When you search the term web mail you’ll find it refers to an email client application that is accessed through a web browser. I want a web mail application that works well in mobile browsers and is run on a PHP server. This is nothing new, there are applications like this, for example Roundcube, I just don’t know which ones are good for use with mobile web browsers, that’s why I’m asking for recommendations.
