Not sure about pop3, but definitely imap. Look at the iPhone's "Mail"  
app settings.

Well, as mentioned, Horde 4 will ship with mobile views for some of  
the applications (Mail, Calendar, Photos, Time Tracking soon to come).  
Currently, they provide read-only views, but that will likely change  
in the future. The iPhone owner would just access Horde via the  
iPhone's web browser. Those apps that do not have mobile views should  
still be fairly useable when viewed in the traditional mode on the  
iPhone as well.
