I think Squirrelmail is by far the easiest to configure and it works with every browser.
I like horde more but it does not display correclty on cellphones and PDAs. Squirrelmail has a basic look but many features and plugins.
Initial cOnfiguration is hanldled by a perl script that does all tricks for you.
All you may need is a dns entry for the "webmail" host in order to have a more intuitive url such as
instead of
QatQat

If I could have sex each time I reboot my server, I would definitely prefer Windoz over Linux!

Just to add my 2 cents here. I have recently set up my own mail server and finally installed squirrelmail last night. COuldn't have been easier.
The only problem I ran into was that I was able to receive mail and send mail to users on my own server, but couldn't send out as I would get relay access denied. After looking through the mail logs, I noticed that it listed as attempting to connect from something along the lines of res.rr.com (the ISP). I added this to the "my networks" configuration in postfix and it solved that problem. Off hand, I am not sure if this was the correct (or safe) way to 'solve' the problem, and perhaps someone else can comment on this part.
But, I would give my recommendation to squirrelmail too!
