I don't know if it is part of IMAP protocol or just a UWIMAP
bell/whistle, but with UWIMAP if you create a file /etc/imap.alert, a
window will pop up on the client every time you do any imap action.
It is:
1) very annoying
2) perfect for emergencies
The message must be short. Dunno if it works somehow with webmail..........

It's not very good performance-wise, because you spawn extra processes
for each login, but it depends on your setup/use-case how much it
affects you.
That's worth noting, but...
What about getting notices out to those folks whose IMAP client stays
connected (sometimes for days on end)?
You could always kill all their connections. Most clients will
reconnect and in an emergency I'd imagine it would outweigh any
inconvenience to your users.
