I'd like to make a shameless plug for IMP.  There are debs for it, but
they lag slightly behind the releases, so it's easiest to just
download a release candidate an install:

http://www.horde.org/

I've never used any of the other web-email programs, so I can't
comment on relative performance.  But IMP has been developed for
several years and is currently under active development.
Additionally, if it's good enough for MIT to adopt site-wide

http://web.mit.edu/is/discovery/webmail/

then that has to say something.

Disclaimer: my friend is a developer on the project, so I have a
slight bias...  <g>
