As I mentioned earlier It doesnt with squirrelmail, I tried it on
production and the I/O increased a bit, watching logging alone was
giving me a 
headache (no, not in debug mode either)..

So I thought I'd try it on a dev box, in case the cache wasnt large
enough, but nope, incidentally imap with evolution works as you indicate
it should, but webmail, not a hope in ..... it is login -action logout
constantly, imapproxy avoids all this crud, so it obviously does
something differently, maybe you find that and incorporate it in
dovecot :) that way all this login logout stuff is only seen in say,
debug mod?
Though the overhead for running imapproxy is non existent it is still an
needed devil in a busy environment.
