This phrase made me laugh, because UW imapd was largely written by Mark Crispin, who invented the IMAP protocol!
It seems that in about 2007, Crispin forked UW IMAP to create his own IMAP server, "Panda IMAP" [1], which at least one website claims to be "fully compliant" with the IMAP RFCs while UW IMAP is not. [2]
