The README.imap-cygwin.txt file in the archive is clear about this:
(2) Note that unlike some other Cygwin deamons (e.g. telnetd), imapd
DOES use the password field in /etc/passwd to do its authentication.
Use Cygwin's /bin/crypt and ensure that these fields are properly
filled out for each active user.
