[Dovecot] First time Dovecot user, really impressed so far. What is best IMAP enabled webmail package to go with Dovecot?

[Patrick Domack]

I also like horde, but I will say it's not exactly an easy learning  
curve for most people. The new dimp client makes things easier, while  
losing lots of features.

For simple, and easy to install roundcube is the way to go. If you  
want max power from a webmail package, defently horde.
