I did the build it correctly and verified that fact in the manner you suggested. My machine is correctly setup for Kerberos as evidenced by the fact I can login and list my ticket with klist.
More accurately, your machine was correctly set up to for Kerberos clients but not (yet) Kerberos servers.
It is very easy to set up a UNIX system for Kerberos clients (not so for Windows!), but setting up for Kerberos servers requires the help of the site's Kerberos God.
I was not aware of this and am not much of a Kerberos person but when I mentioned it to a colleague he knew what I/you were talking about. I had the "Kerberos powers that be" generate an /etc/krb5.keytab file and installed it.
Yup, a missing keytab and principals was my guess of what was wrong; but I had to cover the other, simpler, bases as well.
I figured that either you were a Kerberos God, and thus would know what to do (even Kerberos Gods don't necessarily know about the need to set up the imap principal!), or this strange talk about "keytab" and "principal" would bewilder you and induce you to talk to your local Kerberos God.
If it makes you feel any better, I too am helpless in getting Kerberos set on my own machine without the intervention of UW's Kerberos God. Kerberos is many things, but "easy for mere mortals to set up" it is not... ;-)
I'm glad that it worked out. Have you actually authenticated to the server using Kerberos?
