Last year I replaced an Exchange Server with OpenBSD-based mail, file, print, and webmail server and found the following combination to be the best option for me:
Openwebmail Dovecot Samba3 Plone/Zope All work with OpenLDAP so the user needs to remember only one password. They are all available as packages (except Plone 2.5 and Zope 2.8 which I had to build from source) which makes installation and configuration really straightforward. HTTP compression with OpenWebmail made a big difference when accessing mail through DSL uplinks. Also, Openwebmail does not require IMAP, which meant that dovecot could be taken down, upgraded, etc. without users losing access to email. I am able to use the IMAP client in Plone, Oulook 2003, Kontact/Kmail, and Evolution along with OWM without any conflicts. The only problem I had with OWM was that I could not make it work in a chrooted environment properly without having symlinks everywhere. So it is running with -u -DSSL. Also, sometimes dovecot indices get corrupted if I do something silly like deleting email through OWM while composing an email from an IMAP client using the same mailbox (obviously my fault since I use three workstations with Kmail on OpenBSD, Evolution on Ubuntu, Outlook 2003 on Windows XP and leave them all running at the same time ...)
