i ran squirrelmail for a long time and switched to horde+Imp and find it
a lot better. SM was never updated and didnt do a lot of the nice stuff
that IMP does. Granted IMP is more resource intensive, but it offers a
lot more, especially with all the other modules you can add into the mix
(address book, calendar, etc).

i currently run dovecot + postfix and it works great.
