Are you looking for an open source, Web-based e-mail and groupware suite with its own development framework, Ajax interface, more than 50 applications, an active developer community, and millions of end users all over the world? The Horde communication and collaboration suite may not be as well known as the big name commercial offerings, but according to lead developer and release manager Jan Schneider it has just as much to offer, and more.

I never used Horde for anything else than Imp, the Webmail part.
Imp is by far the most sophisticated and nice-to-use free Webmail solution I found so far. It is especially well capable of co-existing with other clients using the same IMAP server. If I flag a mail in Thunderbird, it will be highlighted in Imp, too.
If you don't want to bind yourself to Google and have your own Mailserver running, give Imp a shot for fancy "on the go" mail access. It is a PITA though, to get Horde running properly, first. Perhaps that improved over the last couple of months though.
