I'm looking for a webmail client that is able to replace a desktop mail client. I will be hosting the client on my own Windows server. While there are many great solutions out there I haven't come across one yet that provides a unified mailbox with the capability to send responses through any of the configured external mail servers.

You can use GMail to use POP3 to access your other email addresses. You can also use GMail to send as other addresses. It would give you one inbox and the ability to send as the other addresses. However, you are going to have a tough time finding one that will use IMAP.

I could live with POP3-support only but I would really like to get away from thrid party hosts like gmail or outlook.com. Since I already own a server for my various hosting needs it seems only natural to me to host my own solution instead of handing out my personal information/communication to other companies for free. – Lichtblitz Mar 9 at 13:13

Your question makes no sense. You want to get away from email providers like Google Mail and Outlook, yet the solution is simple, forward all your email from these addresses to your domain account. This allows you to have a single account and people can still email you at those old email addresses. You should update your question to be more specific sounds like your asking for a product suggestion not a solution. – Ramhound Mar 9 at 13:29

After some googling, I found Roundcube and Fastmail. Roundcube has to be hosted on an Apache server. Fastmail is a paid client

Roundcube does not support unified mailboxes. One mailbox is linked to exacltly one IMAP mailbox on one server (as far as my research revealed). Fastmail on the other hand only provides hosted solutions. I want to host the software myself. Both solutions do not fit my question. – Lichtblitz Mar 9 at 13:16
I'm sorry then. – pratnala Mar 9 at 13:57
You could always build your own to check multiple boxes and then pull into one user's storage area. – kobaltz Mar 11 at 11:57
