I don't know if this is exactly the right forum, but seems as appropriate as any of the others. Keep in mind, I knew absolutely nothing about IMAP til this morning.

I can't connect to my IMAP account via my google android phone, but I can connect fine via Outlook on my PC. I can telnet to my mail server. CAPABILITY gives me "CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN LOGINDISABLED".

". login user pass" gives ". NO LOGIN: Login disabled". Doesn't AUTH=LOGIN mean I should be allowed to login?

. AUTHENTICATE PLAIN lets me type my username and gives me a response in base64 according to this: http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/rfc/rfc3501.txt. Any suggestions on how I'm supposed to respond with my password?
