The LOGIN command has nothing to do with AUTH=LOGIN (or AUTH=PLAIN).
AUTH=xxx indicate SASL mechanisms, used with the AUTHENTICATE command.

BINARY UNSELECT LANGUAGE XSENDER X-NETSCAPE XSERVERINFO AUTH=PLAIN] IMAP4
localhost service (Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04
I can authenticate on both with plaintext password via telnet in the form :-
a1 LOGIN user userpass
This appears correct with the response from the first imap server but does
the second indicate the broken software you mention in not handling PLAIN
properly or am I missing something.
