Michael's answer that you need to use "make oxp" instead of "make
osx" on Tiger is correct. Apple broke/removed the traditional UNIX
means of authentication, thus making use of PAM mandatory.
However, his answer was incomplete, since you are also confused
about what LOGINDISABLED means. A server that utters LOGINDISABLED
when you connect to port 143 is
(1) compliant with the IMAP specification
(2) behaving as-expected and correctly
Similarly, a server which does not do so is non-compliant and not
behaving correctly.
Oops, sorry. This is true too, of course. I hadn't followed that
there was an expectation of allowing plain login. I'd never do that
over the public internet so I breezed right past.
I also left out one other item and that was the PAM config files
needed for the imapd and popd servers. I've read a lot of lore about
these files but the ones I use are just a copy of the one Apple
supplies for the ftp server. (The only change was to the filename.)
YMMV.
cd /etc/pam.d/
sudo cp ftpd imap
sudo cp ftpd pop
Enjoy!
