Well, this site uses up-imapproxy - but only for *single server* non-SSL
connections (only localhost, in our case).

I quote from the up-imapproxy blurb:

"Can IMAP Proxy support multiple backend servers?

The short answer is yes. The long answer is, don't use a screwdriver to
hammer in a nail. If you want IMAP Proxy to be able to proxy to multiple
backend IMAP servers, you can run multiple instances of IMAP Proxy and
make sure each instance is looking at a different configuration file.
Before you do this, take a look at perdition which appears to have been
designed with this specific task in mind."
