This it the README for the UW-IMAP

1) Look in imap-2006/Makefile and find your system type code.  For example,
   modern versions of Linux will use either "slx", "lnp", or one of the
   lnp-variants (such as "lrh").

2) Type "make" followed by the system type, e.g. "make slx".

3) Install the POP2 daemon (ipopd/ipop2d), the POP3 daemon (ipopd/ipop3d),
and
   the IMAP daemon (imapd/imapd) on a system directory of your choosing.

4) Update /etc/services to register the pop2 service on TCP port 109, the
   pop3 service on TCP port 110, and the imap service on TCP port 143.  Also
   update Yellow Pages/NIS/NetInfo/etc. if appropriate on your system.

5) Update /etc/inetd.conf (or install files on /etc/xinetd.d) to invoke the
   POP2, POP3, and IMAP daemons on their associated services.

6) If your system uses PAM authentication, be sure to set up /etc/pam.d/imap
   (*not* /etc/pam.d/imapd) and /etc/pam.d/pop (*not* /etc/pam.d/ipop3d or
   /etc/pam.d/pop3d or /etc/pam.d/popd or /etc/pam.d/pop3).

7) Unless you built your system without SSL support, you will need to set
   up SSL server certificates as described in docs/SSLBUILD.

6) That's all!


I am stuck at step 1 whereby I am trying to do a make lnp SSLTYPE=none the
argument SSLTYPE=none means that I will not be using SSL for authentication
purposes for the imap server but only in cleartext.

In the second step, it mentioned about installing the pop3 daemon but I do
not know how to.
