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?".

AlphaMail has this: http://alphamail.sourceforge.net/

It's a webmail written in Perl that uses a C++ "middleware" which keeps a persistent connection to the backend IMAP server.

But I'm afraid the project is dead...
