The fastest route to me seems to be:

imap -> pam_ldap -> ldap sever

Can we PLEASE produce a version of cyrus-imap imap WITHOUT SASL? PAM may 
  be a smidgeon less flexible, but it is simplier, more widely used and 
supports many more authentication methods. Eliminating SASL might make 
life harder for the (guestimated) 10% of cyrus-imap sites that really 
use it, but it would make life immeasurably easier for the remaining 90% 
who spend countless hours just trying to circumvent it!

Seriously, can someone who knows the code comment on how difficult it 
would be to replace SASL with another mechanism?
