    Sounds to me like you've got the same problem that I had two weeks ago
    - only my problem was with POP3 access. It seems that they have
    disabled plain-text login in the newer versions of uw-imapd (and
    ipopd).

    You can do some reading: they've explained some of this in
    /usr/share/doc/libc-client(...)/README.Debian.
    The part between brackets is, for me, something like 2002edebian -
    verify this for your setup. The README file might be compressed.

    Anyway, the suggestion is to put the line 'set disable-plaintext nil'
    in /etc/c-client.cf. That didn't completely work for me, I have the
    following two lines:
    I accept the risk
    set disable-plaintext nil

    Since I only POP3 behind a router/firewall, I think the risk for me is
    acceptable.

    Also, I needed to do:
    dpkg-reconfigure libc-client2002edebian (again, verify this last part
    for your setup.

    Good luck,
