The problem is likely not with courier-imap but with c-client (the PHP  
module we use to interface with the IMAP server).

Trying protocol imap/ssl/novalidate-cert, Port 993:
ERROR - The server returned the following error message:
Error in IMAP command received by server.Error in IMAP command
received by server.Error in IMAP command received by server.Too many
login failures

This error message would be thrown by imap_open().  Since imap_open()  
is not controlled by IMP, there is nothing we can do if it is broken  
(thus, IMP isn't broken).  That being said, I don't see the same  
behavior meaning that this bug would most likely be fixed by upgrading  
your c-client library and rebuilding PHP.
