I've heard good things about imp:
Description: Web Based IMAP Mail Program.
A set of PHP3 scripts that implement an IMAP based webmail
system. Assuming you have an account on a server that supports
IMAP, you can theoretically use an installation of IMP to check your
mail from anywhere that you have web access.
.
IMP does not require an IMAP server to be running on the machine you
install it on unless you are intending to have it use the current machine
for it's IMAP connections. (If you are connecting to a remote server
for your mail than you don't need IMAP)
.
IMP requires a database to be running if you want to use the extended
features such as the addressbook, and prefs. It currently uses PHPLib
for the database interface so as long as PHPLib supports your database of
choice your good to go. This package is designed to support
PostgreSQL and MySql directly.
