Shall we stop arguing with Marc about whether he wants to do this (he does), and answer the question in the subject. The answer is that no one has wanted the feature enough to write it. Given that has been the case since IMAP became "real", it would seem that the demand is low. Marc, it would seem you have about three choices...write it yourself, induce (with or without monetary help) someone to write it for you (I am not a candidate), or make it a formal feature request and wait until it makes it to the top of the Exim to do list. [The good news is you have a working solution while you wait.] Since it appears there can be more than one IMAP server involved, design of the authenticator configuration for Exim could be tricky. That should be in there, even if in your case your IMAP server talks to others per its configuration to get "remote" authentications, and everyone is known to your server by that means. I don't recall any clients which speak only CRAM-MD5...as has been pointed out, CRAM-MD5 and other mechanisms which work similarly (or will work similarly when invented) cannot be used. There are clients which prefer CRAM-MD5 if offered, but you wouldn't advertise it.
