Not necessarily.  You should make sure your IMAP server only advertises
auth-mechs that it actually supports.

???  IMAP provides no capacity to change a password.  The squirrelmail
extension is doing something else or it is a vertical extension in your
IMAP server [honestly I can't see how it would work].

imapproxy won't break anything.
