Try telnet'ing to the server's port 143 and issue this command: 1 CAPABILITY Please post to this list what the server replies with. Then, try the following: 2 LOGIN <username> <password> And see the reply. Then, are you running Binc with xinetd or tcpserver, or similar? Have you modified these files in any way?
