No - I need the debug line from the IMAP server.  What dovecot reports  
is irrelevant, since IMP interacts to dovecot through the IMAP protocol.

In other words - if Dovecot does not provide any details as to why the  
authentication failed via IMAP, there's obviously nothing IMP can  
report to the user.
