After much time and effort I have managed to get this working.

I'm not sure if it is a genuine bug or something I've missed along the way but
if you edit IMAPAdapter.py in the validate function. (Line: 200)

First comment out the following lines:

         if 'NotMail' not in roles:
            print 'Notmail not in roles'
            return None


Then add:

        if auth == None:
            return None

after:

        parent=request['PARENTS'][0]


Mmm, hope this helps, this worked for me. 


DISCLAIMER:

Chances are those edits may break
something else though. I really don't know what I'm doing. The zope
authentication process is still somewhat confusing for me and
this is the first python I've done, hopefully it works though :)
