 Saslauthd does not use /etc/sasldb2 to authenticate users, as the log 
says it tried to authenticate with PAM, service 'imap'. Add 'auxprop' to 
the 'sasl_pwcheck_method' and imapd will try to authenticate with the 
sasldb2 auxprop mech. If you plan to store all your users in 
/etc/sasldb2 then remove saslauthd entirely.
