There is no point running IMAPs over localhost. From what I
understand, there is only one user that really has the ability to read
localhost traffic, and that is root. At which point, if you have
somebody sniffing that with root access, you're a little late in
security precautions.

Erm, you do realize courier-imap and uw-imap use a COMPLETELY
different mail base? You cannot run them together, unless you want to
provide the users of webmail a completely different login system, and
message base to those with access to uw-imap. I suggest doing a little
research.

You do realise, if they use a mail client, which connects over imap,
you're in the same stand point as connecting to imap using
squirrelmail... You don't acheive anything, unless you have your
uw-imap install setup to use STARTTLS of course. I suggest doing a
little more research on what you're trying to achieve, and the
mechanisms you're using to go about it.
