I believe IMAP, and some web-based IMAP client is the way to go, not to
build web-based evolution mail (normal people don't have the ability to
install web applications for themselves anyway). We use IMP 2.2 here at
University of Helsinki with Cyrus IMAPD (with stunnel providing SSL-imap)
and to me this really seems like the ultimate email solution.

If you really hate all the current web-based mail solutions (how many have
you tried?), I think improvements to those would be the thing to do, not
re-inventing the wheel.

On the other hand, a web-based calendar isn't that important to me - my Palm
takes care of that beautifully ;)
