In this case, only the lowest level of debugging shall reveal what is wrong. :-) Connect to the server with telnet or openssl (the FAQ has info about this), authenticate, then attach to the bincimapd process with "strace -s 128 -p <pid>". Have the output from strace redirected to a file, then replicate the error condition manually with the commands you got from recordio. strace will show what Binc IMAP is trying to do.
