For whatever it is worth, we use imapproxy, because it allows us to use one-time passwords for webmail users. One login, not many.
With large enough auth cache, I think that should also work with Dovecot directly (although if the session takes longer than auth_cache_ttl, the user needs to re-login).
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.
