Why didn't you try Dovecot? I used to use UW IMAP and found it so slow
that if my users had more than 20-30 folders, UW would take forever. With
dovecot's builtin indexing, it is fast even for users with hundreds of
folders.
I know, that doesn't solve your problem, but at the outset, if you pick a
more capable IMAP server, I think you'll find the later problems easier
to tackle.
My 2 cents; worth what you just paid me for it :-)
