Well, this is kinda off-topic, but I'll answer it anyway.

Yes. vpopmail will do what you want.

vpopmail is the core. It manages the domains. It will auth from LDAP.
qmailadmin is the _user_ control panel.
vqadmin is the administrator/technician control panel.
sqwebmail can be you webmail interface
courier-imap will do IMAP and POP3 for you. (use the authvchkpw module.
_NOT_ CDBs or LDAP. Keep it integrated.)

Now that you know that it works, here's the bad news. The following excerpt
is taken from README.ldap in the vpopmail src distribution. It was written
by [EMAIL PROTECTED], the creator of the LDAP auth module:

-------------------------------------------------
First of all, there is absolutely NO RELATIONSHIP between
vpopmail's LDAP module, and qmail-ldap.  qmail-ldap is an
LDAP-enabled qmail-based MTA.  The vpopmail LDAP module reads
user authentication information out of an LDAP database.

Second, the LDAP module DOES work, however, it is not actively
maintained because here at Inter7, we dislike LDAP, and anything
using it with a passion.  LDAP is the most terribly conceived idea
ever to hit the database industry, and to top it off, it is widely
used with bulky commercial mail solutions.  I wish I knew why.
Just to quelch any flaming I might get for my opinions in this area;
I've been over the code, I've worked with the big solutions, and I've
seen many benchmarks.
---------------------------------------------------

This man clearly dislikes LDAP. And I do too. Use MySQL if you can help it.
It's 100 times faster, and it performs MUCH better under high load.
