I wouldn't expect an off-the-shelf client to do this. When you
use Pine or Thunderbird, they are really running on your local
computer, and accessing IMAP servers on remote machines. WebMail
software, however, typically runs on a Web Server that is local
to the IMAP server, and just talks to your browser. So to
accomplish what you're asking, there would have to be a WebServer
running software which then talks to multiple IMAP clients and
somehow combines all the folders, etc. You could write something
like this, but I don't think you'll find something already written. I'd be
happy to be proven wrong, though.
