No need to keep a separate conf file. :-)
Create a new service directory called bincimap-allowplain or something:
mkdir /etc/opt/bincimap/service/bincimap-allowplain
Then copy the run file from the old service file for plain connection:
cp /etc/opt/bincimap/service/bincimap/run \
/etc/opt/bincimap/service/bincimap-allowplain
Then edit this file. Look for "0 143", and replace with "127.0.0.1 143".
This makes the service bind to localhost, so it will not serve external
connections. Now add --allow-plain as an argument to bincimap-up. This
overrides the conf file settings.
You will probably want to create a "log" directory and copy over the "run"
file from the old service directory also. Remember to edit the run file to
use a different log directory than the original, or multilog will not
cooperate.
Finally, before starting this new service, edit the
/etc/opt/bincimap/service/bincimap/run file and replace "0 143" with your
external IP address followed by 143, fex "4.2.2.1 143". Then restart this
service.
Start the new service you created by symlinking it to /service:
ln -s /etc/opt/bincimap/service/bincimap-allowplain \
/service/bincimap-allowplain
And test it! See if it works for you.
