	My old virtual system was running Squirrelmail, but on the new system 
we're running both Squirrel and Horde/IMP. Most customers seem to like 
the IMP interface better and its HTML mail support seems to work unlike 
SM. We will likely drop SM at some point in the future.
	If you do install both even if just for testing you should modify the 
preferences so that IMP and SM use the same folders. By default IMP uses 
sent-mail, drafts, and a trash folder feature is not on. I changed that 
to Sent, Drafts, and turned on Trash so that users switching between 
Thunderbird, SM, and IMP had the same folder setup. You'll also need to 
turn on HTML mail display in one of the conf files as well in IMP.
	I do find the folder setup in IMP a little funky to browse through, but 
that's really my only major complaint so far.
