uw-imap got pretty weird, with Mark Crispin getting very, very upset
and accusing people of stealing his university's code if they merely
*pointed to* off-shore repositories where SSL patches were published
and could be legally imported without running into US export laws. He
had SSL hooks which he refused to publish, except for his university's
internal use. The arguments got *weird*, and heated, and some of us
were very grateful to be able to switch to dovecot and avoid the
issues.

David, have you tried dovecot as a "simple IMAP server"?
