Roundcube is by far the most clean, intuitive and beautiful opensource webmail client out there.

> it's also written in PHP... which doesn't necessarily have to count against it, but makes me a little wary

why that?

The quality of the code in your average PHP project is... less than stellar. Low quality code typically results in exploitable bugs (XSS, CSRF, SQL injection, remote code execution, local filesystem access, etc.).
