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

Now I want to setup and web-based in addition to the default pop3 and imap client access - what u guys can recommend?
depends on how much functionality you want. I like squirrelmail, it's easy to set up, fast and extensible.
And if you have lots of users, you should also consider adding imapproxy.
What is imapproxy and why do I want it?
