I was running it side by side with roundcube as a test, and most users seem to like the extra bits. Besides, horde keeps compatibility with less than brand new PHP versions, but Roundcube insists you have the newest PHP installed everytime they generate a new version. I just can't hack a production server every few months at the whim of developers that want to play in a new sandbox every week. Squirrelmail is supposed to have many addons like shared addressbooks and calendars, but it seems that many of the apps don't play well with others. I gave up on trying to get them to work. As for IMAP access, Horde is fine. It will also work with other backends like Kolab if you so choose. I also didn't want to use Zimbra because I run my own spam and virus scanning, and I didn't want to "downgrade" to what Zimbra thinks works. And Horde has been around for a long time, and seems to stay current. The devels are very active, and patches come out regularly.
