The most simple way would be to get a checkpassword that dosen't confirm 
the password. After that you could pritty much use the standard 
execution line:

ssh <options> bincimap-up -- checkpassword --no-password bincimapd Maildir

Then the IMAP client should be able to use the normal command and send 
what ever password it would like. Altho, the user must be the same so 
that checkpassword can do its normal chdir stuff.
