I just finished looking for it and found the same thing. Sorry to have
misled you.
Kenneth Porter was maintaining that SRPM for a while, but probably life
has caught up with him, the same way it's trampled on many of the
things I've been intending to do.
As to security... not to start a holy war but IMHO UW imapd is no
more secure than qpopper. There have been numerous pre- and post-
authentication compromises with it in the past, and its configuration
gives users read access to any world-readable file on your system, by
design, unless you modify the source to prevent it. Having read the
source for both, I'd favor qpopper as being at least comprehensible.
