[horde] IMAP connection initiated for every click in the user interface

This is an entirely inaccurate understanding of what imapproxy does.   
Imapproxy is *NOT* a cache.  It is used to minimize the overhead in  
creating an IMAP connection.  FWIW, Timo - the author of Dovecot -  
tells me that you probably won't see any difference if using a recent  
version of Dovecot, since it has been optimized to start sessions  
quickly.

Horde additionally can take advantage of a previous proxied connection  
to slightly optimize the connection by not sending some initialization  
commands.

But a connection to imapproxy = a connection to the IMAP server for  
purposes of Horde (the only way it wouldn't is if we somehow connected  
to the imapproxy server and then didn't issue any commands.  But that  
doesn't happen).
