There is undocumented option. It is mentioned once in
/usr/local/share/doc/imap-uw/imaprc.txt

information from some other unnamed operating system
----
Plaintext logins
================

By default, plaintext logins are disabled unless you are using SSL or TLS.
This was done upstream to follow security recommendations by IETF (The
Internet Engineering Task Force).

If you absolutely must use plaintext passwords, you will need to use the
semi-official /etc/c-client.cf

See doc/imaprc.txt for further information. You specifically want to:

    set disable-plaintext nil
----

Correct path of c-client.cf may depend on changes made in your package.

OpenBSD 3.4 also provides package with plaintext logins enabled.
