    hm .. i don't know how you define "incredibly slow" but my experience
    with horde/imp is quite the contrary .. its imho pretty fast,
    has good scalability (e.g. a loadbalancer, a bunch of
    webservers and the sky is the limit), has a nice/intuitiv looking gui,
    a reasonable default featureset .. and it's even realtively easy
    to write your own horde modules ...

    .. did you read the suggestions in the horde/docs/PERFORMANCE
    especially regarding PHP accelerators and/or the mcrypt PHP extension ..

    arround here, we are using a loadbalanced (w/ linux virtual server)
    horde/imp setup with a courier-imap backend ...

    works reasonably well for ~ 45k users.
