I had exactly the same need. Here is what I did:
I set up IMAP (UW) on the mail server, and encourage its use internally
(they use Outlook, mostly). Set up the Roxen Challenger web server with
the IMHO web mail module on our public web server. IMHO module uses
IMAP to access mail from the mail server (and SMTP to send), so
everything is kept on the mail server, no matter how the clients are
accessing it. It works just peachy. The mail server thinks the IMHO
module on the webserver is just another IMAP client.
