Webmail -- What's recommended?

[scott at ruralnetwork.net]

I used to think that IMP was the best choice, but now I think SquirrelMail 
has surpassed it - or if not, it soon will.  Tracking the two projects over 
time, SquirrelMail seems to have a much faster development model by being 
very open to code contributions and suggestions from outside developers.  
Now that it's included in the Redhat and Mandrake Linux distributions, I 
expect that SquirrelMail will gather even more developer mindshare.
