If you use "make oxp" you do not need "PASSWDTYPE=pam".
Why do you think you need SSLDIR=/usr ?
(SSLTYPE=unix because I need both standard port 143 access locally and SSL for remote access: this is working fine on MacOS X 10.2 Jaguar))
If you use a good quality IMAP client, it will negotiate TLS on port 143 and you would not need SSLTYPE=unix. SSLTYPE=unix is unsafe since if anyone installs a sniffer on your network they can steal passwords.
I can connect fine via 143 but it doesn't authenticate login:
Did you set up PAM for IMAP? You need an /etc/pam.d/imap (or whatever MacOS uses).
Note that I am not a MacOS expert.

Thanks Mark:

Agreed. Works fine without.

Also agreed. Mulberry does this fine. Entourage seems not to. However some of my users (including me) use SquirrelMail/PHP occasionally for web access. I have SM/PHP running on the same box as imapd and at the moment the only way I can get them to communicate is via standard authentication on 143. [This is probably a local PHP configuration issue as I believe others have been more successful: my next project!]. External access to 143 on this box is firewalled. Not ideal, certainly, but it works.
