I think that it has gotten somewhat easier to install. Horde 3 now has a
web based administration module. You have to keep in mind that it is
ambitious and considering that it traverses many daemons (an SQL db,
apache, imap) and uses some sophisticated php (requiring some pear
modules), etc. it isn't ever going to be a simple install. A good
administrator should be able to make it work in 2 hours. I consider 4-5
hours for install, customization/editing preferences to be standard for
install but for that, you now get webmail, shared contacts, shared
calendars, nice interface to sieve/procmail, and shared task lists.
