Adding note seems guite good idea.

That is not however universal truth :-)


For good measurement I disabled POP and IMAP
listeners on testing server.  WWW interface
still works :-)

hurtta at leija:~$ telnet testiXXXX.fmi.fi 110
Trying 193.166.XXX.XXX...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
hurtta at leija:~$ telnet testiXXXX.fmi.fi 143
Trying 193.166.XXX.XXX...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
hurtta at leija:~$


That is Communigate Pro.

(  Communigate Pro   is quite strange product. 
    All listeners seems just to be one process. 
    Whole server is one process ( SMTP, HTTP, IMAP, 
    POP, SIP, Radius, LDAP and whatever)
   there is is just big number of threads ...
)
    


Also if I read documentation of Courier-MTA correctly,
it's webinterface read directly Maildirs -- it is not 
using IMAP   ( http://www.courier-mta.org/sqwebmail/ )
