I am able to get Squirrelmail to communicate with Gmail via imap.  I am looking at getting persistant imap connections to improve the user experience.  I have looked at IMAPPROXY  but this application is not compatible with the gmail imaps (ssl-encrypted imap over port 993).   I recall reading somewhere that Dovecot has a built in imapproxy that could be used for this.  

Dovecot doesn't provide persistent IMAP proxying. You should be able to
combine imapproxy with stunnel to do this.
