May be you want to consider SocketMail .. http://www.socketmail.com ..
The Lite is for shared hosting and the Pro is for dedicated server.

Webmail can be a pain, but if you find one that work for you then it will work out good.

I like Squirrel Mail. It has a lot of user contributions and plug-ins that make it a good choice.

http://www.hivemail.com is IMO the best. Not free though.

The design is brilliant!

It can be *really* fast - one of the major slowdowns is if it is connecting to an imap server on another machine. I've had it running on the same machine as an imap server, and it can be extremely snappy.. but I've also had it running and connecting to a seperate imap server, resulting in horrid slow-downs.

There are workarounds, and configuration tricks for that issue - its not impossible to fix, just tricky.

The squirrel is still *completely* faster than Horde or similar monstrosities. Neomail is fairly snappy, but the interface is horrid.

I've never had a problem with it... probably because it is configured properly and running on the proper hardware (which is cheap nowadays). You need to do a few things or the performance is painfully slow, php with gettext and mbstring support. Without gettext you lose in performance. mbstring is actually required if you want a good i18n webmail system.
Use an imap server that supports sort and thread imap extensions. Without these extensions you lose in performance.

Quit spamming. Posting your opinion once was 'informative'. Posting the same opinion twice (especially with a vested interest) is spamming.

I really know nothing about Squirrel Mail... And, unfortunately, I could not login http://www.squirrelmail.org/ and do not know Germen, Could you kindly provide some helpful English resources to me?

I have a great interest in it.
