A webbased application has stored the database connection string in
cleartext somewhere on the webserver. If you hack the webserver and get the
sql connection setting you have access to the whole (imap)database. That's
really bad.

If you access the imap server over the imap protocol, you need to have a
username/password. And if you get this somehow, you can still access only
one imap box(ignoring acl).

That's the main difference and my main concern.
