More information:

Access to IMAP mailboxes through running imapd over rsh and ssh is now disabled by default in uw-imap, the University of Washington IMAP Toolkit. Code using the library can enable it with tcp_parameters() after making sure that the IMAP server name is sanitized.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 8:2007f~dfsg-5+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your uw-imap packages.
