I haven't looked at IMP in great detail, but even so... what has
a SQL DBMS got to do with an IMAP front-end? If it's used to drive
the UI dynamically than that would account for both its flexibility
as well as its hardness to setup.

Besides SquirrelMail I've been meaning also to take a look at
TWIG. Where SquirrelMail does what's needed, TWIG adds things
like scheduling, contact management, USENET, To Do lists,etc.

There's also http://www.firstpr.com.au/web-mail/ which gives a nice
overview of things IMAP.
