VC98 is an old version of Microsoft C. I haven't used it in some years.
The compile error messages indicate that you do not have the current SDK;
or at least that the security.h file that was picked up by the compiler
isn't the current version.

My recommendation is to buy a modern copy of Visual C++ to replace your
ancient VC98 installation. Then you wouldn't need to worry about the SDK
install, since modern versions have the modern includes and libraries.

The problem which you have is a C build environment setup problem on your
Windows system, not an IMAP problem. To build the UW IMAP software on
Windows, you have to have a modern C build environment, with the symbols
for Kerberos and SSL.

It is possible, with enough work, to figure out what you did wrong with
your SDK installation in VC98 and get it to work. However, I can't do
that work for you. I suspect that the labor cost to fix the old compiler
would be quite a bit greater than that of buying the new compiler.
