Minimalistic IMAP web client...

Hi,

I set up Dovecot as an IMAP server just for local users on a server: so
no database, no LDAP, just local users with Maildir in their own home
directory.

SMTP in this scenario is unrelevant, because my users just have to
access archived email. The server doesn't send nor receive mail. Don't
try to understand why.

But my users are very "primitive" and I don't have time to waste with
their Thunderbird configuration, so I would just point them to a web
site where they can access the same mail. What I need is just a web
interface for the IMAP access. This web site should allow users to
login with their local credentials on the server (remember, they are
local Unix users).

It seems very simple, but I didn't find anything just like that.
Roundcube, for instance, seems a good choice, but installing it on
Debian forces me to configure a database for the users, which I really
don't need and don't even want to use. Squirrelmail is another good
choice, I thought it was a typical PHP application that you just drop
in /var/www/html, making just some changes on some config.php, but it's
not exactly like that.

Any hint would be really appreciated!

Best regards.
