The most popular configuration is probably the one that Horde creates  
when running the webmail-install script. This is, a simple IMAP server  
on localhost, with IMAP filtering as the filter backend.

A working backend configuration for Gmail would look like:

$servers['google'] = array(
     'disabled' => false,
     'name' => 'Gmail',
     'hostspec' => 'imap.gmail.com',
     'hordeauth' => false,
     'protocol' => 'imap',
     'port' => 993,
     'secure' => 'ssl',
     'maildomain' => 'gmail.com',
     'smtp' => array(
         'auth' => true,
         'debug' => false,
         'localhost' => 'localhost',
         'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
         'password' => null,
         'port' => 465,
         'secure' => 'ssl',
     ),
);

Not sure what you mean with "popular configurations". Are you still  
talking about IMAP backends here? I don't think any configuration but  
using the mail system's local IMAP server is really popular at all.
