The INSTALL doc has to get changed. That was only meant if you run into
trouble.
The only problem, is if Zope get's launched under a different UID/GID
than it runs under later on. There's some code that creates missing
directories and files, and this seems to be yet executed as the user
that launches Zope. If there's a mismatch there, you'll run in
permission problems. The mode 777 is only for "testing", not for
production environments.

This can be made optional, but then the sessions are lost if the server
get's stopped. The password is necessary to make authenticate the IMAP
connections. I'm open to any other suggestions?

Which IMAP server?
I suspect it could be in the IMAP parsing/processing code, if it's an
IMAP server worldpilot hasn't been tested against.
