I've always had good luck with Squirrel Mail, www.squirrelmail.org.
However,
recently the webhost I use has started offering the IMP Webmail Client,
http://www.horde.org/imp/.
And I must say it's pretty nice.

Most of what you will find is that these web based clients are simply

That way is doesn't really mattter what you do under the hood.
