Have you investigated Prayer? That's what we use, in a modded version, 
because it maintains persistent IMAP connections (among other reasons). You 
could think of it as an IMAP client that happens to be using a web browser 
to draw back to your screen, as if it were X Windows. It's a sort of clumsy 
analogy but in the end that's more or less what it amounts to.
