+imapproxy (SquirrelMail's IMAP Proxy server)
+
+SquirrelMail's IMAP Proxy is a caching IMAP proxy server intended
+for use with webmail clients that cannot maintain persistent
+connections to an IMAP server.
+IMAP Proxy simply sits between your webmail server and your IMAP
+server. It accepts connections from your webmail server for each
+client login, then proxies that connection to your real IMAP server.
+When your webmail client disconnects, IMAP Proxy will leave the
+connection open to the IMAP server such that when your webmail client
+reconnects, the existing connection may be re-used.
