imapproxy maintains a stateful connection between the imap server and the web server, so that a reconnection/authentication to imap isn't needed every time the webmail user does something. Saves cpu cycles bigtime...

BTW: we use horde/imp for our webmail

Is it hard to install? Is there any down side to it?
