No problem, Ryan. Don't worry :-). Binc IMAP is behaving this way because the guide doesn't specify one special detail; the server requires CRLF line terminators. Many telnet clients do the line terminator transformation directly; obviously your's does not do this. :-) Do you have the "fixcrio" program? It's part of the ucspi-tcp package. Try installing it from here: http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/ucspi-tcp-0.88.tar.gz Download the package, untar it and go "make setup check". This installs among others the fixcrio program. Now you can go: # fixcrio telnet localhost 143 That'll let you continue the basic functionality test. The protocol dump can then be performed with another tool that came with the same package: recordio. Dumping with recordio is much easier than with tcpdump: http://lifewithbincimap.org/index.php/Main/DumpingWithRecordio Now, regarding the "speaking the IMAP language" detail, you will find all you need to know about what commands to test here: http://lifewithbincimap.org/index.php/Main/BasicFunctionalityTest Just follow the instructions, one by one. The first lines of the examples are what you type, and the rest is what the server should respond with. If you have any problems at all, don't hesitate to post back to the list.
