Hi, i dont wanna flame into this thread, cause its heavy tec stuff which i dont really fit inbut for some webmail you can use http://imapproxy.org/
the discussion was about if running proxy at all make sense.Proxies are to reduce traffic or server load by avoiding repetitive requests.
With dovecot it's unlikely proxy itself will be faster, so second reason doesn't exist.
With same computer or fast lan or virtual lan (==normal way of running webmail) first reason doesn't exist.
