Most of these require you to set up an IMAP server of which there are
at least 4 available in ports. Another consideration you'll have to
look into is the format in which delivered e-mail is stored on the
system -- choices are typically mbox (the default style on FreeBSD),
maildir or the Cyrus mailbox database. If you aren't going to use
mbox format, you'll need to install a new MDA (mail delivery agent)
and integrate that with your MTA (mail transport agent --
eg. sendmail).
If you just want to get a webmail system up and running quickly, and
you don't have any special needs for massive capacity or extreme
security, then try installing the mail/imap-uw and mail/squirrelmail
ports. That I think is pretty much the simplest configuration job.
Cheers,
Matthew
