If you don't want to run PHP, you could run OpenWebMail. It's written
in Perl or you could roll your own. Courier also has it's own web-based
software. Personally, I run Dovecot, Postfix, SquirrelMail and use
PostgreSQL for virtual mailboxes. I was running Cyrus and liked it, but
found it was too heavy for my needs (may not be for your's). Dovecot
works out better for me and I've found my current setup to be somewhat
faster than the old setup. It all depends on your needs and there are
ways of mitigating (however not eliminating) PHP's security issues.
