Now that pambase changed /etc/pam.d/other to deny access by default, imapd authentication won't work unless you specifically create an /etc/pam.d/imap file. It would probably be a good idea to include one with the package.
This task depends upon

See also  FS#61712 

Multiple packages may make use of an imap authentication method, unsure which package should provide this.

Can't they all provide it? You can't install more than one IMAP server anyway, because the PROVIDES will conflict.

That's how Debian does it, my /etc/pam.d/imap file is provided by cyrus-imapd package on Debian.

No package currently provides /etc/pam.d/{imap,pop2,pop3}. dovecot uses /etc/pam.d/dovecot for all its pam services.
It does not appear imap could be adjusted to use a custom pam service file without patching the source.
