You might look at combining Courier's POP/IMAP package with their
sqwebmail package. I think this would support most of your requirements
above. You'd probably have to write your own web-based password change
mechanism to backend into your MySQL database, but everything else is
supported by Courier.

See www.courier-mta.org for details.
