Email reference/web-based email

Please excuse a very rudimentary question!

We would like to begin offering an email reference service. I have a form
set up and ready to go and in testing, it seems to work well. I thought all
would be well until the Reference Librarian said he wanted staff to be able
to manage the service from multiple staff PCs within the Reference
Department, instead at just the Reference Desk (duh, makes sense). Now I'm
trying to find a way to offer a web interface to the POP3 account we'll use.
I found something that at least looks good called MollyMail
(http://www.mollymail.com/webmail/) from EmuMail (http://www.emumail.com).
How safe/reliable might this be? I've also been looking at Perl scripts from
the CGI Resource Index
(http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Web_Based_E_Mail/).
Any recommendations? Free is nice but not required.

Thanks for any assistance.
