uw-imapd from former times was kicked a while ago. Use dovecot, if being
an advanced user with need for a powerful IMAP/POP3 server choose
Cyrus-IMAPd from Extras.

"Email" is included, of course. PHP too. I don't remember that Ilohamail
was ever part of Red Hat Linux. Fedora comes with Squirrelmail as a
webmailer.

In which area does your mail server run? Is it home use or do you have a
huge user base? Does the machine run locally or remote in a datacenter?
Such facts will influence a decision whether Fedora is a good choice or
not.
