I'd first eliminate IMP from the equation and ensure your IMAP server really
is letting people log in properly... the best way is to do it raw :)

Do 'telnet localhost 143' and type

1 LOGIN yourusername yourpassword

You will get back either '1 OK LOGIN Ok' or '1 NO Login failed.'

Now try

2 SELECT "INBOX"

and you should get back lots of info on INBOX =)

finally

3 UID FETCH 1:* (ENVELOPE)

will get you lots of info on the senders of each mail in your INBOX...

If that all works, then I'd use a packet tracer to see exactly what IMP is
sending to your IMAP server...
