Hello Peter,

All the suggested ones have just one big FAT problem - they are all written in that security bug ridden language that the hackers just love to exploit - PHP. Running a web application available to the whole wide internet written in PHP is just asking for someone to break into your systems.
That's pretty much off-topic but for anyone interested just in web mail systems and less so in holy wars & stuff: don't worry, it is not that bad. It is not bad at all, actually :)
I _really_ _really_ wish someone would write a nice webmail system in some other language... Like a Ruby-on-Rails one (I've found a few, but they aren't actively maintained anymore).
Hadn't you mentioned specifically RoR (or any other of the buzzwords/ newcomings) I'd have taken your opinion as a warning (aggresively voiced, but still a warning about security -- a useful thing to have).
What you've written, however, is pretty unbalanced. You made it difficult to consider it 'useful' or 'informative'. It is more of misinformation than information.
But let's not discuss it here, it's Dovecot list.
