I'm very weak in my testing abilities on IMAP but from another post the following (I think) should work:

Is this even the correct way to log in? [...]

Not quite. IMAP uses a label at the start of each line to match up commands and responses to them. (Useful when several commands are sent at once.)

login mylogin mypassword

Here you're sending the command 'mylogin', which you've labelled 'login'.

login NO Error in IMAP command received by server.

And this is the response to your command, so it's also labelled 'login'.

Try this: a001 login mylogin mypassword

hope this helps,
