As you are thinking, probably true for users who "voluntarily" opt for a web
mail solution.  But as where I work, we intend to give a web portal (email
included) to every student who goes on one of our packages.  Many of whom may
not own a computer and simply use verious public facilities for loggin in.  But
considering there are only 3 techies, we do not want to be overwhelmed with
support requests due to browser in-compatibilities. ;)  But that's just me.

But anyway, my vote on frames/folders etc etc would be that everyone who has a
good idea hack away, make your patches available, and if the horde team likes
one i'm sure it will find it's way into the official releases.
