In our initial analysis our final three webmail candidates were NetWin WebMail
(WebIMAP), IMP, and SilkyMail.  They all seemed like good choices but after
some hemming and hawing we finally went with SilkyMail because -

1.  Support: 24 x 7 support call back support, business phone support, on-site
    installation support, etc for free because we have a Mulberry Site
    license.

2.  Looks & Feels closest to Mulberry - our recommended mail client here which
    alot of users use.

3.  LDAP & IMSP support.  Many users have preferences, etc stored in IMSP.  We
    also have an LDAP server containing a (almost) complete campus directory.

4.  Licensing is free (as with IMP).

5.  Based on IMP which is a pretty mature product (even though right now
    SilkyMail doesn't use the latest version) with lots of mailing list
    activity/support - which means indirect support for SilkyMail.
