I wrote this a while ago: http://imapwiki.org/ClientImplementation

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?".
