[imp] security issue

[test account]

I am using php 4.3.4, apache 2.0.48 imap uw 2002e, perl 5.8.2
horde 2.2.4
imp 3.2.2
solaris 9
&
I can not get the security issue described below to work.
UW was brought up earlier in the list as the imap server with this security
issue 
but I can not get it to work. 
I guess this is good.
