Not that I'm biased but... :)
Have you looked at something like TWIG (http://twig.screwdriver.net/) or
IMP (http://www.horde.org/imp/).
They are both webmail systems in PHP. IMP generates very favourable
comments from people who use it and supports both IMAP and PHP mail,
although I think IMAP may be more favourable in your situation.
Cheers,
Graeme
