In order to perform a DH key exchange the server must use a DH group (DH 
parameters) and generate a DH key.

UW IMAP neither generate DH parameters on the fly nor supply the 
parameters - thus no DHE can be negotiated.

You may patch the code and use SSL_CTX_set_options(3) to set
SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option, but generating DH parameters on the fly is 
extremely time consuming.
