It's working fine, what changed is that the new uw-imap by default is=20
"build with SSL and disabling plaintext passwords" (it's a requirement=20
by RFC 3501).  Now you have to use SSL, a.k.a. pop3s (port 995).

The old behavior can be used, and the details and disclaimer are in the=20
documentation (imaprc.txt, point 35).
