Have you set up a PAM authentication module for IMAP on /etc/pam.d ?

The OXP build (as opposed to OSX) uses PAM, and thus you have to create /etc/pam.d/imap and /etc/pam.d/pop files.

I would also like to be able to compile using a passwd file for different system with same os version so email users would not need system accounts.

The security model in UW imapd requires that each IMAP user have a unique UNIX UID. It is possible to do a "virtual host" such as you suggest, but you will have to write code to do it (and enforce the security of your virutal host).
