IMAP is the only protocol I know that officially has a
“preauthenticated” mode, where a user can run the server under their own
UID and interact with it through its standard input and output, going
directly into operation mode skipping the authentication phase.

That way, if a client supports it, you can connect to a IMAP server
through SSH and a key, for example.

It is a tragedy that not more authenticated protocols do not support the
same thing.
