But I just found out yesterday how to authenticate using mod_perl to the
webserver so you can use the username and password credentials to
authenticate to the IMAP server.

Also, if we go the route that the user of the data has to be used, there
isn't that added administration of setting up the ACL for the "special"
user, and I would hope, it increases the security of the process
overall.  You should hopefully only be able to mess with one person's
data if security is compromised rather than every person's data.
