Nina, when I installed uw-imap I had to use SSL in my mail client(s), as
"plain" authentication was not allowed. I normally use Mulberry and Mozilla
Thunderbird; in T-Bird (and also Mozilla if I'm not mistaken) you check the
box labelled "use secure connection". There are other things you'll have to
do in order to use the SSL but it is well worth the effort due to the extra
level of security you're giving yourself. As I remember it wasn't too hard.

HTH,
