I tried to debug the problem a little more, it seems if I enter the credentials via telnet directly into the IMAP server, the german umlauts are broken into two byte (my console uses UTF-8) and when logging in via IMP, it is transmitted in one byte using ISO-8859-1/15
So the big question is now, how can I make IMP to sending the credentials in UTF-8?
