Wouldn't that depend on what you use it for, compared to it's stated
primary reason for existence?

ImapProxy was written to compensate for webmail clients that are
unable to
maintain persistent connections to an IMAP server. Most webmail
clients
need to log in to an IMAP server for nearly every single
transaction; This
behaviour can cause tragic performance problems on the IMAP server.
ImapProxy tries to deal with this problem by leaving server
connections
open for a short time after a webmail client logs out. When the
webmail client
connects again, ImapProxy will determine if there is a cached
connection
available and reuse it if possible.
