Following on from post about how to test a POP3 connection using telnet, I thought I'd add a quick one about testing an IMAP connection. It's pretty much the same, but you use the 143 port number instead:
> telnet mail.mydomain.com 143
> login my_user_name my_password
Happy days :)
Update:
Recently I started getting an error when using the login command. Turns out I needed to do the following:
> 10 login my_user_name my_password
All subsequent commands needed to use 20, 30, etc. This is a good resource for more commands.
