No comment, my connection is local.

I use UW-imapd (I have to have MBOX support, would rather have used
Courier for MAILDIR), and in spite og what people write, I have no
criticism of it.My imapd uses pam_ldap for Openldap 2.1.10
authentication and SSL/TLS for those clients that support it (for me,
Horde's PHP 4.3-based Imp - not Evo).

I suppose it depends on what version you're using. I compiled
imap-2002a.DEV.SNAP-0212051126 with PAM and Openssl support and Evo has
no straight IMAP protocol trouble with it whatsoever, though no
encryption..

Agreed :-) Apart from ldap support (which could be stronger) and imapd
encryption, I have no complaints whatsoever. Better than Mozilla,
anyhow.

Best,
