That is why you integrate the proper security measures into your IMAP
daemon - for instance you could have to chroot to the proper user
directory so that it cannot access files ouside that area then have it
run as not-root so it cannot chroot out.
There are many other possible schemes that don't require uids, but they
all need special code.
