Have you tried reading Makefile. uw-imap has bunch of comments there.
Including available configuration options.

If you run 'make lnp', SSLTYPE default to 'nopwd' (SSL support using
OpenSSL, and plaintext authentication permitted only in SSL/TLS sessions,
uw-imap 2002.rc7)

make lnp SSLTYPE=unix

------------
# SSL type.  Defines whether or not SSL support is on this system
#
# The following SSL types are bundled:
# none  no SSL support
# unix  SSL support using OpenSSL
# nopwd SSL support using OpenSSL, and plaintext authentication permitted
only
#       in SSL/TLS sessions
# sco   link SSL before other libraries (for SCO systems)
# unix.nopwd    same as nopwd
# sco.nopwd     same as nopwd, plaintext authentication in SSL/TLS only
#
# SSLTYPE=nopwd is now the default as required by the IESG.

SSLTYPE=nopwd
-------------

If you are able recompile uw-imap, you may want to consider using courier
or cyrus instead. UW imap has two things. 30 years of compatibility and
mbox format, that has performance problems with bigger mailboxes.
