Well, first, your email client must be able to do CRAM-MD5 passwords. I
imagine yours does, but you'll probably have to specify the change. By
default, the imap-2002 server is looking for a file /etc/cram-md5.pwd.
All you need to do is put your usernames and passwords in this file like
so:

<username><tab><password>

This is all in /usr/share/doc/packages/imap/md5.txt, but it might be a
little overwhelming if you've never dealt with this before. Like that
file says, the downside is that now you need to replicate your passwords
in this file for everyone you want to give POP or IMAP access to.
