Testing Logins
Assume your username is dexter, with password pass, and your
mailserver is mserver.mynet.com. First we connect to the imap server,
which is on port 143, as follows:
[]:[8:49am]:[/home/rnejdl] > telnet mserver 143
Trying 192.168.1.2...
Connected to mserver.mynet.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS AUTH=LOGIN] mserver.mynet.co
m IMAP4rev1 2001.315rh at Sat, 30 Aug 2003 11:08:06 -0700 (PDT)
Then we login (obviously, use your account and password, not "dexter" and "pass"!):
a01 login dexter
RESPONSE: a01 OK User logged in
