Have a look at /usr/ports/mail/up-imapproxy 
(http://www.imapproxy.org/), helps alot!

Squirrelmail is also very CPU and memory hungry when opening large 
mailboxes, doing Thread sorts and such.

One sollution to the problem is to use UW-IMAP's MBX format, as it is 
indexed and supports shared READ-WRITE access. No more problems with 
long logon times due to large mailboxes or locking!
