Prossibly a tad less polished than Petes suggestion, but do have a
look at courier (http://www.courier-mta.org/)... As they say
themselves, you don't need to use their MTA, but can instead use for
example Postfix, together with their IMAP and webmail package.

I'm not sure that Dovecot has "enough" quota support yet, so ...
perhaps not fitting your bill... Not to mention that you'd need
complement it with some webmail (squirrel perhaps). Judge for yourself
at http://www.dovecot.org/.

Some will swear by Cyrus, others at it... Again, judge for yourself at
http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/imapd/

As Pete mentions, most/all "groupware suites" that have an OutLook
connector will charge you for it (open-ex etc).... And as you say,
they do a bit more than you really want them to, so why use them?
