I believe Henry meant for you to replace the <user> and <pass> with your username and password; did you do this? Also, here's a good test for you: Connect to the server with telnet <host> 143. Then do a "ps" and find the pid of bincimap-up. Now, while keeping the telnet session open, attach to bincimap-up with strace -s 128 -f -p <thatpid> This command should just hang after printing one line or something. Now, with the telnet session, log in using this command: 1 LOGIN <user> <password> The strace program will now dump lots of stuff to the console. Post all that stuff here, and it'll say what's going on.
