Minor (but important) point: the IMAP protocol doesn't have holes in it
at all, several server implementations of the IMAP protocol (in the
past) have.  There hasn't been a problem reported with UW-IMAP for a
while IIRC.  If, as in Bret's case, the IMAP server is to be run on an
internal network, properly firewalled, then the risk should be
negligible.
