A good webmail client for multiple users

Ok, so one of the few websites i have setup on my frihost account is called epcyouth.org its a website im volunteering to do for my churches youth group and im having a problem. I am settings up multiple email accounts for each person who is in charge of the youth group at the church. I have set them up so that they can put the info into their outlook or thunderbird and use it that way, but i would like to give them the ability to change their passwords and access their mail via webmail client. Here is the trick though, as most of you probably know yourselves, you cant do those thigns unless you are logged into the cpanel as the root user of the cpanel account. I wanted to ask you guys, if there is some program out there that can allow users to have like a gmail, or yahoo mail type look and feel to their accoutns that can also be accessed on port 80 and 8080?

Thank you.

PS right now i have hbridge setup but i cant get that to work and its more limited than i would like since it doesnt allow for a password change to happen on the user side.

You can try Squirrelmail.It is a PHP program that will work without problems on Frihost :

http://www.squirrelmail.org/

Unfortunately it is not available from Fantastico, so you'll have to install it manually. Instructions are here:

Scroll down to the section describing the installation procedure for people not having shell access to the webhosting machine. Obviously this is important as Frihost does not allow shell access to the servers.

Hope that helps

squirell mail is already configured onto the server from the start. What i want is something that can allow someone to go to like mail.yoursite.com and then be able to log into it that way and it will go to their account. Problem is is that in order to get to squirell mail to my knowledge you have to log in as the main root user of cpanel and then go to webmail. I just want them to be able to go and log in and only be able to use their account. H Bridge should be able to do what i want but i need help configuring it if there is not an easier alternative.

Anyone at all have any suggestions at all? I really need something for people to be able to log into mail remotely from.

No what I meant was to install Squirrelmail separately on a directory on the server, and point it to the mail servers running on the machine. The users can then browse to that directory and be greeted with a squirrelmail log in screen. No need for cPanel.
