I used IMP a few years ago, and I found it complicated to set up. I use 
SqWebMail now. SqWebMail may be less elegant than SquirrelMail, but 
SqWebMail is far more efficient. It is written in C, and accesses 
Maildirs locally, not through an IMAP server. If Postfix does not 
support Maildirs, you couldn't use SqWebMail.

I have written a short tutorial on how to set up SqWebMail here (it is 
draft quality now): 
http://tabor.taborandtashell.net/serversetup/sqwebmail.html The 
installation is pretty straight forward (it is in ports), except the 
Makefile, which is a little confusing at first.
