The configuration guide describes (in 4.3.) a scenario where SOGo's user population backend (LDAP) is set up from scratch, which implies that the preexisting IMAP server supposedly is*not* using the same backend/data/passwords.
I'ld guess that*if* you have the IMAP server configured to look up the same backend/data (including support for exotic authentication methods, "Exchange style" cross-user access rights management, yadda yadda), the requirement to defeat authentication from SOGo to the IMAP server may become moot.
But until then - Exchange takes its entire auth from AD, and SOGo's LDAP,*not* the IMAP server's passdb, is the analogue of that.
I have read the above again and again, but I don't understand what you are trying to say, I'm sorry.
Chapter 4.3 doesn't apply to us and my question, since we are (and were) always using (samba) AD.
Everything connects to this same AD backend, including SOGo and imap.
