We currently only provide PLAIN authentication for IMAP. Providing SASL will probably be part of bringing TLS into DBMail; the libraries for these tend to run together a little bit, making it easier to add both features at once. If Shibboleth can be accessed through a SASL library, great. If we have to write code for something completely different than SASL, it might not happen. There's a lot already on the todo list for the next major DBMail release.
