Use the IMAP/SMTP protocol to build email unhosted web app

hi,

me and my group started to implement a unhosted Email web application with HTML5/JS. As i know, any browsers not allowed connection to the IMAP/SMTP server in HTML 5 application due to security constraint. Is there any solution to overcome this issue. Or can we implement any add-on as intermediate server and connect to IMAP/SMTP Servers through that add-on.

Thanks and regards.
