According to UW's IMAP FAQ (ouch, TLA overload):
2.4 What do I need to build this software on Windows?
You need Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, Visual C++ .NET, or Visual C# .NET
(which you can buy from any computer store), along with the Microsoft
Platform SDK (which you can download from Microsoft's web site).
You do not need to install the entire Platform SDK; it suffices to install
just the Core SDK and the Internet Development SDK.
You can freely download Microsoft's C++ compiler (but not the IDE) to do the
build (excuse the multiline URL):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
Hopefully this will get you where you need to be.
