[ale] what open source webmail software do you use?

[Nathan J. Underwood]

I'm in the process of rolling out Squirrelmail at my 'real job', and use 
Horde (Plesk-ized version) for my web hosting company.  I'm choosing 
Squirrel Mail because of the plugins available (namely, the antivirus) 
and because it seems leaner to me.  I use Horde for my web hosting 
company because it seems to offer more visual appeal to my customers 
that use it.  One thing to note about them (and in a moment about 
Neomail).  Both Horde and Squirrelmail will work with IMAP folders (i.e. 
you create a folder in Squirrelmail, then check your mail with 
Thunderbird [or some other IMAP client], and it's there).  My experience 
with Neomail, and this was a while back, was that it did not.  Any 
folders you created in Neomail were just in Neomail.  Maybe things have 
changed, but that was one of the reasons I dumped Neomail.  Squirrelmail 
used to have a problem with that too, but I'm using it with Dovecot IMAP 
and it works great.
