Subject: IMAP - Bad Login User Name

I'm trying to help a new ISP debug their IMAP setup. They have the IMAP
daemon defined in inetd.conf properly. When I try to login to the IMAP server
using PC-Pine, I get a message saying "Bad Login User Name and/or Password".
I can telnet to the server with no problems and POP mail off the server works
fine, all with the same login ID and password I'm trying to use for IMAP. Any
ideas why IMAP wouldn't like the ID and/or password?

John,
Don't know if this is what you're experiencing or not, but some versions
of imapd don't like certain special characters in passwords.  I'm not
sure which characters, nor which code this is fixed in, though.  You could
try an acct with a simple password to determine if this is the cause.
