Also, 2 things which aren't quite clear to me in the Wiki :

a) Password forwarding

Make sure that the authentication succeeds with any given password. You can do this by using empty passwords. v1.1+ requires also that you return nopassword field.

-> Does that mean that the proxy has to accept only empty passwords and that
   that's the actual imap server that will deal with the actual password ?

b) The connections created to the destination server can't be TLS/SSL encrypted.

Does it still work if the client is using SSL/TLS to connect to the proxy ?
