I used a php application to access the IMAP email for a while, but it never worked very well (Can't remember which one though!) Hi Andy

In the event of a disaster you can reverse the direction and fill the IMAP server with the local copy. My own mail server sits in the US and I'm in Israel so the latency kills me if I try to read mail with IMAP, so I use offlineimap to fetch the new mail and handle the moved and deleted mail on the real server. And then I have a webmail to read my mail even if I don't have my laptop handy. I've started to think I might offer consulting/contracting services to micro-isv's to help with such issues. But then I suspect most micro-isv's are not up to spending money on such issues and would rather do the work themselves.
