Could be your folders settings are wrong, and it is trying to index your
whole account or whole system at login.  Just an idea.

Speed up repeated logins via webmail? Yes.  Fix misconfigured or
overloaded systems? No.

Depends on your imap server.  I'd used it without problem for years with
the production IMP and the HEAD IMP up until about a year ago.  It won't
work with the current HEAD IMP and my wu-imapd server.  So, it can depend
on your imap server, and how IMP tickles it.

BTW, my problems with wu-imapd+HEAD-IMP+proxy are not specific to any
particular imap proxy...  I tried it with different imap proxy software
and they all caused the same problem...
