would it be possible to create a dovecot server as an imap proxy for gmail and google apps? imho many people/company would be love to use such a setup where he can use gmail in vacation or any other time, but when the email is real critical apps (not acceptable to wait 1 minutes for an email to load or to open a folder/label) than he can use a proxy server eg. dovecot which act as a imap proxy to gmail and can be hosted on closer, faster server and this speed problem never happend. what's more it can be used as a mail backup server too.
I've thought about a caching IMAP mail storage backend for Dovecot and even started implementing it once, but it didn't get very far. If someone wants to try to continue it, I can send what I've written so far. Although it's mostly a copy of cydir backend with a tiny bit of it replaced with IMAP code.
