it does. IMAPPRoxy caches for example all directories. If the user open
a folder, then you have a new connection to the IMAP server, that can
take a while (auth ...). After a few seconds the connection is closed
(that's quite normal for webapplications like webmail etc.) and than the
user requests a new folder ... . So the imapproxy can cache all these
things and make the Webmail faster. The only problem is, if there are
new folders, so maybe it can take a few minutes, before the folder is
visible.
