Jeff,

I run squirrlmail, and am happy with it. With the proper incentivising
I may be convinced to give you a temporary account on my box so that
you could try out squirrelmail.  If you have a Trilug Shell account
you should be able to try out Horde/IMP.  I really don't like the
interface to Horde/IMP, so I can't recommend it.  I like the idea of
webmail, and will be deploying it for the company I work for.  But
webmail is slower no doubt.  One thing you may want to test is what
IMAP server you will run, and how it does on loaded mailboxes.  There
are some things you can do to speed up webmail, the squirrelmail wiki
has some suggestions.

In any case I can highly recommend squirrelmail.
