Alexander,  no saslauthd wasn't running.  I started it and imtest now 
succeeds.  However, imapd now reports no mailboxes exists.  I've read that I 
will have to re-create all the imap mailboxes.  Can I simply copy the old 
mailboxes to the new locattion in /var?

Pop3 still fails with authentication errors.  Here's the run after I ran 
pop3test on a user.

pop3test -m user -u aabbcc

Any pointers from here?
