I bet there have been at least a dozen webmail programs installed on the
RaQs and that's just based on what's been mentioned on-list.

I've installed IMP.  I like the features and it runs well.  If you need
something very basic, phpop works.  Squirrelmail is pretty nice and has a
pretty good set of features.  I know people have also installed Twig, atdot,
emumail and a lot more I can't recall off-hand.  I'd advise searching the
list archives for "webmail" and spending a few hours reading what people had
to say.  You should be able to find many of the webmail programs at
freshmeat.net and sourceforge.com and some of the cgi script repositories,
though I personally prefer PHP solutions.

If you post some info. about the # of users, types of email boxes (IMAP,
POP, etc.) and what features you want (LDAP access, globalization, IMAP,
custom footers, etc.) other list members can probably help you better.
