Webmail applications that are kind to the IMAP server?

[Schmehl, Paul L]

Look at Squirrelmail.  www.squirrelmail.org/  It's a very nice app,
written in php also, with plugins to add many useful features (such as
Sieve filtering.)  I don't have a heavy load on my server, but I haven't
noticed any more activity from Squirrelmail than what I see with a
"regular" imap user.
