Yes, it's possible. But it's not very simple as the IMAP server was not
setup to have a new authentication method just plug in cleanly like the
qmail-pop3d setup. You also have to deal with the fact that the IMAP server
is happy to allow the user to open folders not in their home directory, but
relies on the UNIX uid permissions.
If you don't mind mucking around in the source code, then go for it. The
file you wan to start in is "src/osdep/unix/env_unix.c". It's about a
thousand lines and from my understanding of the code, you should be able to
do all the modifications in just that file.
My partner and I are developing an in-house solution to allow each virtual
domain user to setup virtual POP/IMAP accounts under one uid, but that is
going to be proprietary. Developing it was how I ended up doing the Maildir
patch.

Would it be possible to imap with a single-uid pop3 setup? We would
like to use IMP on a mailserver running this setup, but I can't figure
out if it is possible?
