I use squirrelmail on several systems. It's very easy to set up since it's all just php. Just extract it into your web server and run conf.pl to set it up for your organization name, and domain. You should also tell it your imap server type so it can configure some pre-defined settings. You can also add plugins for abilities such as filtering, spellcheck, spamcop, etc. I don't consider squirrelmail the best email client for power users, but it is a good way to be able to get to your email quickly, and for many people it's quite sufficient as their normal client. Be sure to set up SSL on your web server so your password isn't sent in plain text.

Regarding spam filtering, I haven't looked at the spamcop plugin, but a better solution would be to use spamassassin and process all your mail with spamassassin before you read it. How you do that depends on your MTA and MDA.

Can anyone give me their pro/cons of setting up, and using Squirrel Mail?
I need a system for spam-filtering via IMAP.

Thanks
