Did you notice that "LOGINDISABLED" text?  It means that no LOGIN command
will succeed, even if you give the correct password.  Refer to RFC 3501
and RFC 2595.

Did you notice that "STARTTLS" text?  It means that the server was built
with SSL.  You may think that you set SSLTYPE=none, but I assure you that
you will not see "STARTTLS LOGINDISABLED" unless SSLTYPE=nopwd.

Review the information in imap-2003/docs/BUILD (the very first two
paragraphs under "UNIX BUILD NOTES") and imap-2003/docs/SSLBUILD (first
two paragraphs under "SSL BUILD").
