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.

This can be pretty easily solved - configure your web server to require HTTP authentication for the location where the PHP script is, configure the web server to use the same authentication source as webmail, and hack webmail to pick up the authentication from the web server instead of presenting a login prompt.

Pretty easy with apache and LDAP-based users, and squirrelmail at least...

But, if you don't do this, I totally agree.
