Yep.

UW-Imapd runs with normal default mailboxes but doesn't support shared 
folders - but it runs out-of-the-apt-get, so to speak.  Cyrus IMAP 
supports shared folders but you need to do a bit of configuring to get 
the thing up and running.  There is another (courier I think) but I have 
no experience of it.

IME at least the first two are nice'n'stable.  I've got 
cyrus+amavisd+clamav+spamassassin+postfix+fetchmail running here without 
too much hitch.  :)
(I don't use squirrelmail anymore because I've got paranoid about it's 
security)
