one other possibility would be to put POP and IMAP on a proxy server
(that also handles outgoing SMTP) - use something like perdition for the
proxy server.
http://www.vergenet.net/linux/perdition/ (despite the name, i believe it
will run on systems other than linux).
we have done this successfully (albeit for a fairly short period of
time) during a mail system migration -- we had 16k users all going
through one server (and not a particularly buff one at that) running
perdition and postfix for incoming and outgoing mail (with other servers
handling the actual POP and IMAP duties).
you could also run apache on this machine if you wanted, and do a
redirect from 'mail.domain.com' to 'webmail.domain.com' (on a different
server) using meta tags or mod_rewrite. this would also mean that
people would probably start remembering the new name, although the old
one would work.
