[imp] ImapProxy v0.9 released

[Joost De Cock]

Peter,

I took a look at the site, and I can't seem to find anything about the
license it's released under.
Did I miss it? All it says is copyright Steven Van Acker.

Since it's LUDIT stuff, I assume it's GPL?

What is ImapProxy ?

ImapProxy is a caching IMAP proxy daemon designed to be used with 
Horde/IMP. The program forwards all traffic between the client and the 
server, but keeps the connection to the server alive after the client 
logs out. When the same user attempts to log in again, the proxy will 
use the cached username/password pair to authenticate the client, and 
tie the new client to the old server connection (which was kept alive).

Why does it exist ?

IMP produces a lot of connections to your IMAP server. For every action 
a user makes on the webmail server, a new session is opened to the IMAP 
server. IMP authenticates with the IMAP server again, and the action is 
performed. Not only does this create a lot of overhead, but it also 
creates tons of logs on the IMAP server.

ImapProxy attempts to relieve the IMAP server of this overhead, by 
keeping the connections open, and doing the repeated authentication 
requests in ImapProxy, instead of on the IMAP server.

You can find everything at http://www.kuleuven.net/projects/imapproxy/

Have a look, play with it, let me know what you think.
