So you want to deny webmail access to some users but still allow them  
to log in directly via IMAP? You could do that with SQL passdb or  
checkpassword script, but there's really no way to do it with LDAP.

Well, or one last possibility would be to allow the user to log in but  
immediately disconnect him by checking the access in post-login
