This is a non-trivial undertaking and not something that UW-IMAPd is
really setup to do - or for that matter most email clients.

Don't get me wrong, it is do-able, but nothing I know of currently does
this out-of-the-box.  You will have to build your own... unless someone
from TriLUG knows of an application that does this already.

I'm also at a loss as to why you would want to do something like this. 
UW-IMAPd comes IMAPS ready so it can use ssl communications with the
client.  Then you  simply let the client login across that secure
connection.  It's built into UW-IMAP and also most email clients, so
that is an out-of-the-box solution.
