If you read right to the end of /usr/ports/mail/imap-uw/pkg-message you
should have seen this:
===> NB: IMAP-UW now rejects non-encrypted logins by default. To change this
===> behaviour, recompile and reinstall cclient and imap-uw ports with one of
===> the following make variables defined:
WITHOUT_SSL - build without SSL/encryption support.
WITH_SSL_AND_PLAINTEXT - build with SSL/encryption support, but allow
non-encrypted logins.
So the answer is that you need to rebuild/reinstall the cclient and imap-uw
ports with either '-DWITHOUT_SSL' or '-DWITH_SSL_AND_PLAINTEXT' on the make
command line. I believe either of these will give you a server that will
accept plaintext logins, but I don't have my notes from when I did this to
check for sure. At least one of them should work, anyway.
