I've always had good luck with Squirrel Mail, www.squirrelmail.org.
However,
recently the webhost I use has started offering the IMP Webmail Client,
http://www.horde.org/imp/.
And I must say it's pretty nice.

Most of what you will find is that these web based clients are simply
interface to the imap/pop servers.
That way is doesn't really mattter what you do under the hood.
