I tinkered with both Imp and Squirrel on my Gentoo box. I had to hack 
the source to get Imp to work and ended up a bit disappointed with the 
look and feel once i got it working. I tried squirrel too, but finally 
settled on Roundcube. Super look and feel and easy to set up. Doesn't 
seem to handle big folders too well (like gllug) and I think it's a 
little slow (maybe thats the AJAX), but handles my Courier IMAP server 
just fine, and looks quite swish. (I believe you can also CSS it to add 
your personal touch)
