Basically it's like this: if you are connecting to the IMAP server that
listens to a TCP/IP port, you will need and use the authentication
information (from the viewpoint of dovecot you are connecting to it from
the internet (even if it is just localhost)).
But if you start the imap daemon as a program and connects its standard
out and in to pipes, and talk to it through the pipes, you don't need
any other authentication, because it's just a program you yourself has
started, reading files under your home directory (ie. owned by you).
