Please include log snippets. There's no reason why SM would corrupt other IMAP sessions, but who knows. Also, have you tried logging in to IMAP on the command line yourself to see what happens? > I've tried increasing my daemons line in authdaemonrc to 20.

My authmodulelist is "authcustom authuserdb authvchkpw > authpam". SM doesn't care, as it is connecting to IMAP, and IMAP can auth however it wants to.
