IMP doesn't really handle it, so much as php handles it.  This is really
a function of your php, and as such dependent on the c-client built into
your php.

For what ever reason, your php is trying to invoke "One Time Password" (OTP)
authentication, but your system has no OTP support setup.  I know of no
way to stop this -- maybe adding /notls to the protocol will help, but I
kind of doubt it.

This is up to your imap server as well as IMP configuration.  The only real
way to influence this is with the "/notls" protocol switch in
horde/imp/config/servers.php which says not to use TLS, which should ignore
SASL support.  Someone else already wrote about a way to disable SASL
support on the server end, which may help also.

Again, it is your php, not IMP.
