> 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.
