I'd highly recommend Squirrelmail (http://www.squirrelmail.org). I use it
on a couple servers at work (a campus-wide server, and a server specific to
the CS department), and it works great. It's got a good plugin system, and
is reasonably fast (and with options to make it very fast).

Another one to look at is OpenWebmail (http://openwebmail.org). I haven't
used this in a production environment, so I don't have much practical
knowledge of it.
