I found it.  I feel like a dope.  I had a typo in the configuration - I even pasted it here, typo and all, and didn't see it then.  Looking at the IMP test page made me see it.  IMAP is not on port 142.  Duh.  Fixing that made everything work.  And then I turned security back on and it all still works.  Yay!

Interesting.  I had set it that way because it's how my quite old Horde was set up.  Now that IMP lets me log in, I've changed it.  It works very well.

Thank you for your help!  I don't know how long I'd have stared at that before I saw it.
