Its just a matter of mail client which is stopping me from using it .
Perhaps you meant this posting as a joke but then I didn't get it!

I prefer a web based mail client and I dont like squirrel mail ,horde
or bluemail.
This sounds quite similar to "I would like to create doc files but I
don't like oo or abiword so I am stuck with MicroSoft".
I also want a mail client which could support me to chat with jabber
protocol .
Why on earth would you want that? Mail and chat are completely
different protocols with very different goals. "I want a telephone
which also acts as a postal system."
Yes I could settle for plain mail client but I believe in thin
clients hence don't want a single mail to come to the client
machine.
This makes little sense too. If the mail (at least the text of it)
"does not come" to the thin client how can you read it? If you mean
that the mail should be stored on the server then use a client that
supports imap and put imap on the server.
So really all that you need is a server that runs daemons that
support smtp, imap and jabber. Then a thin client that runs a mail
client and a jabber client is all you need. So for the server
something like postfix, dovecot, jabberd and for the client something
like mutt and irssi. (But you may prefer graphical clients like
balsa and pidgin).
