I set up SquirrelMail where I work. It works and was pretty simple to 
setup. Another feature it lacks that I might actually add is SSL 
support. SquirrelMail itself doesn't need much to support SSL if your 
server does. It just needs to have all the links changed that start 
"http://" to use a funtion that checks the protocol in use and outputs 
either http or https. 'Course it might just work if you configure Apache 
to force SSL on that directory.

Frankly, if you don't trust Google with your email, then I don't think 
you could really trust anyone other than yourself, could you? Says the 
guy who has had a Yahoo! account since 1999.
