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.
