OK, I'll pretend you didn't say simple...

SugarCRM has a webmail feature. It works nice and has some extra
features you don't find in most web mail apps.

But be careful... as of version 5 (last version I tested) if you're on
SSL connection it is slow. You can speed it up by enabling gzip
compression in apache or php. Actualy, that helps even on non-ssl
connections but the problem is less noticable without SSL.
