One thing that would be nice, that pretty much no webmail does, is to keep a stateful connection open all the time (or at least some of the time) instead of creating tons of short-lived connections that ask the

same stuff over and over again. With a stateful connection you could

basically run IDLE and wait for changes there instead of asking all the time "is there new mail?" "is there new mail now?" "what about now?".

I'm sure "native" support would be better, but how is this different from using Squirrelmail with IMAPProxy?

Squirrelmail still keeps asking for new mail etc. The only thing imapproxy helps for is that the IMAP process stays alive longer. Maybe helps a bit since there's less forking, but that's about it.
