The main one I remember is ippimail.com who I think use squirrelmail,
like my co-op does.  Michael J Kaye reviewed it last year at
http://cuttingfree.blogsome.com/2006/12/01/ippimail-free-software-web-mail-with-a-feel-good-factor
The venerable altern.org also use squirrelmail, but they seem short of
staff and seem to have been spammed to blacklist-hell, although it's
improved the last few weeks.

Others (not all free software) are included on
http://noluv4google.com/article.php?id=800
which I linked from
http://mjr.towers.org.uk/blog/2006/google
which I must update soon.

I agree with Alex that http://www.bongo-project.org/ should help
matters, although I'm intermittently seeing simplepie warnings on
their site lately.

Hope that helps,
