This isn't true. We're running IMP here in exactly this  
configuration. IMP gets a Kerberos ticket from somewhere (in our case  
cosign, but this works just as well with mod_auth_kerb doing SPNEGO),  
and uses that to authenticate through to the IMAP server using GSSAPI.

It's been a while since I looked at this - when I prototyped it, a  
small change was required to the PHP IMAP module in order to enable  
GSSAPI authentication. I know that the people who actually run our  
central mail service are on this list - so hopefully one of them will  
pop up and provide further details.
