I think the TLS is that some IMAP servers allow plain text logins only
with TLS (i.e. ensures the passwords are encrypted). It is overkill from
local machine to local machines (why are you using 192.168.0.3 and not
127.0.0.1 if they are on the same machine?).

CRAM-MD5 needs the CRAM database on UWIMAP according to the Debian
documentation, YMMV.

Fairly sure my UW-IMAP servers always just accepted "LOGIN" (plain text
against normal user accounts by default), you can easily test it with
any good email client (Thunderbird is good choice). Most mail clients
let you detect supported authentication types now - I think Kmail does
this nicely as well.

If it is a new IMAP server - always a good time to migrate to dovecot ;)
