You seem to have set it to not allow clear text logins over an non-secure
connection.  So you can try connecting to it over the ssl port, or using
the tsl support, or reconfigure it to use plain logins over a non-secure
(non-ssl/tls) connection.

It looks like wu-imapd, which means you probably want to change the
SSLTYPE variable (I think from nopwd to unix, but not sure -- see the
docs).
