Probably not. Here's what I know about ACAP servers:
1. CMU has two, one in C or C++ or something, and one in SML.
Neither is maintained.
2. Qualcomm (Eudora) are reported to be working on one
3. Infotrope (cf. Dave Cridland's site, above) is the only maintained
ACAP server. However, it's still in beta (maybe alpha?), so isn't
quite up to it yet. But I want to be ready for it when it's ready
:).
Here's what I know about ACAP clients:
- Cyrusoft Mulberry is supposed to be very good, but commercial
- The IMAP connection lists Eudora for the Mac as supporting it
- SquirrelMail has a patch that works with it (thanks to Dave
Cridland again :) ).
- It would be pretty easy to add to Mozilla. I hope to do this
someday, if no-one else gets in first :).

Yes. But my understanding was that webmail generally requires web
server software (such as Apache), and that's what I'm trying to avoid
putting on the mail server :).

No :).
