We used to offer SquirrelMail with our product, and we recently moved to RoundCube because we thought the heavier use of Ajax would make the user experience more responsive. One by one, all our more demanding clients have begun to ask for SqMail back. They say (i) SqMail used to work on the browser of mobile phones but RC doesn't, and (ii) RC is too slow, SqMail was just fine. This second point has caught us by surprise and we are in the process of setting up SqMail again for these customers. Personally we find the SqMail interface quite dated. We were toying with the idea of actually buying and supplying the Tuxedo mail client to some of these customers to see if they'd find it better. Haven't tried IMP.
