Looks sweet, I feel like this [could,would] be another driver. We are thinking about replacing IllohaMail (which we currently use now) with ezComponents' Mail classes. Decimail would just be another driver then.

I think the change is more fundamental. Now, it's PHP that connects on the webserver to IMAP, but with decimail it's actually AJAX on the webmail client that talks to IMAP through a proxy. So it's a persistent connection instead of a new connection on each page load. That's why it could be such a drastic improvement.

Incidentally, what's wrong with IlohaMail (other than being unmaintained)? At least on my server IlohaMail still reads my mail faster than Roundcoube ... :)
