The README.imap-cygwin.txt file in the archive is clear about this:

(2) Note that unlike some other Cygwin deamons (e.g. telnetd), imapd
    DOES use the password field in /etc/passwd to do its authentication.
    Use Cygwin's /bin/crypt and ensure that these fields are properly
    filled out for each active user.

One question for you now. Could you please drop the disclaimer it eats a
