Actually there are a *ton* of these things (some really good).  There
is a fantastic site with **lots** of reviews/links etc. here:

Please read it before anything else.  It is really exhaustive.


If you are happy with IMAP, debian ships with imp (rpms are also
avlbl)

$ apt-cache show imp

Package: imp
<snip>
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.

The screenshots look really cool.
