What exactly is wrong with IMAP servers? If there are major security holes
would it be feasible to limit access to IMAP by localhost and then write a
Webmail script that interfaces with it? Would this be any more secure?
Because PHP does have a nice IMAP interface library, I'd like to use that
to write the webmail scripts.
