Yeah, I've heard of such solutions.
They have several drawbacks.
1 - Security sucks (giving your password away? No thanks), and that
alone is enough to avoid them.
2 - Emumail sells the server for your own use, hence you don't have
the security problem but then it seems that the mailboxes are stored in a
proprietary format. I want to support IMAP
