Why reinvent the wheel? There are a lot of webmail client that use IMAP.
Redhat ships with Squirrelmail. I like IMP from Horde. Unless if you do this
for fun.... :)

Yes, that'll be all you need. If the users have home directory with files in
in though, you may want to restrict the IMAP access on the client side to the
prefix ~/mail or ~/Mail, for example, so that the users don't see all the
files in the ~/.
I forgot to do that once, and I have a lot of files, some of them have big
sizes in my ~/, and my Kmail accessing IMAP nearly crashed, took forever to
recover and close it, then change the configuration to use prefix ~/mail
