See /usr/ports/mail/imap-uw/pkg-message:

"===>   NB: IMAP-UW now rejects non-encrypted logins by default. To 
change this
===>   behaviour, recompile and reinstall cclient and imap-uw ports 
with one of
===>   the following make variables defined:

WITHOUT_SSL - build without SSL/encryption support.
WITH_SSL_AND_PLAINTEXT - build with SSL/encryption support, but allow
non-encrypted logins."
