Personal experience, I've used all three.  Hord/imp seemed like overkill
for just the webmail bit.  We had it at $job-1 for offsite mail access,
but it was missing some feature that my users kept requesting, I don't
remember what it was, but Squirrelmail had it, so I switched over.
NeoMail works, doesn't require any IMAP or POP, it just reads the files
off the filesystem.  SquirrelMail requires IMAP, but you can build
security around it to prevent any problems.

I've been using SquirrelMail on bl.org for my users that don't want to
have to use a shell and mutt/pine/whatever for a couple of years now,
they all seem to like it pretty well.  It's PHP based, should run fine
in Apache 2.  There are also lots of plugins available for it, shared
calendars, bookmarks, filesytem access, etc.
