We use a combination of wu-imap
http://www.washington.edu/imap/
which had a scurity problem, but the latest version is secure (at least I
haven't seen any new problems for it)

there is also CYRUS
http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/
which is a nicely scalable IMAP server


and IMP webmail client
http://www.horde.org/imp/
They stay on top of their security issues, and is quite easy to run over
ssl.


Wu-IMAP and IMP work quite well for us. Give them a look.

Subject: Web Mail Vulnerabilities


We are looking at provided mail access via internet connection (home,
internet cafe, library etc.) and I'm trying to research what
vulnerabilities
exist for such access.  Any websites, books or personal experience you
could
provide would be VERY VERY helpful.  I'm just getting started so all
tid-bits are welcome!!
