I discovered that one must first preface IMAP commands with an
arbitrary string.  So this works:

str LOGIN testusermb testuserpw
str OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID LOGINDISABLED
AUTH=PLAIN COMPRESS=DEFLATE ACL RIGHTS=kxte QUOTA MAILBOX-REFERRALS
NAMESPACE UIDPLUS NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND
BINARY SORT SORT=MODSEQ THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES
ANNOTATEMORE CATENATE CONDSTORE SCAN IDLE LISTEXT LIST-SUBSCRIBED
X-NETSCAPE URLAUTH] User logged in
