Actually, I believe squirrelmail just depends on an imap server.  I 
don't think it cares what (imap-uw is supported).  My issue resides 
with the plain-text password issue.  As per instructions, I've 
recompiled imap-uw to allow plain-text, or so I thought, and I still 
get the errors.  I followed these instructions: 
http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/en_US/UWLoginDisabled and I'm 
concerned with these messages in /var/log/auth.log:
