I've setup and user-tested both for use on an IMAP server and now prefer 
Squirrelmail, which supports IMAP inbuilt and POP3 with a plugin. Horde 
supports IMAP and POP3 inbuilt.

Squirrelmail is generally a little easier to setup than IMP though it does 
not have some of the integrated set of applications that the Horde project 
(which IMP is part of) is aiming for. It also doesn't require the use of 
JavaScript and so is compatible with a wider range of browsers.

If you just want email try Squirrelmail first, if you want to also use 
other applications like calendering try the Horde project (and there is 
also PHPGroupware).
