Citadel is another integrated solution that is really easy to setup. Just one application, all written in C. The web interface is the only thing that I think could be better. http://citadel.org/ http://citadel.org/

  "Citadel offers versatile email services with very low administration needed. It provides its own implementations of these server protocols: IMAP, POP3, SMTP, ManageSieve, XMPP, Citadel." Wow, I'm impressed!

    Call me behind the times, but I like the fact you can DL a virtual appliance, and have it working in 10 mins flat.

  I didn't mention Citadel because there hasn't been a release since November 2011; however on further investigation it looks like development is still active. http://code.citadel.org/?p=citadel.git;a=shortlog http://code.citadel.org/?p=citadel.git;a=shortlog

I've been looking at Kolab. They have a nice page listing their dependencies: http://www.kolab.org/community/upstream-communities http://www.kolab.org/community/upstream-communities All of these look fine - I already deploy all the server items - except Round Cube: does anyone know anything about them?

  Have got it recommended from a consultant who seems to know what he is doing. Also I think in kolab it is only used for optional webmail.

  I've used roundcube before, both on a shared hoster and on my own server later on. It's okay, I wasn't impressed with the user interface at the time though that seems to have changed judging from their website. The software is a bunch of php and shell scripts and uses a MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite database.

    Thanks. It doesn't sound hugely convincing. I guess people do harden PHP+shell scripts, but it sounds like work to me. eitland thinks Kolab can be run without it, at the expense of not having a webmail interface, which would be OK.
