It might, but the server doesn't. Many IMAP servers do not allow users to have SSH access on the box, but prefer locking them down, e.g. with Webinterfaces or IMAP. Also, Dovecot has other ways of authentification, e.g. Virtual Users.
You need to start distinguishing between "SSH the protocol" and "SSH the shell implementation", afaict the protocol should allow any use like this without ever granting access to a shell, like sftp-server etc.
