IMTEST(1)
NAME
  imtest - test interactive IMAP program

SYNOPSIS
  imtest [ -p port ] [ -m mechanism ] [ -u user ] [ -a user ]
	 [ -l num ] [ -r realm ] [ -f file ] [ -v ] [ -z ] hostname

DESCRIPTION
  imtest is a utility that allows you to authenticate to an IMAP or IMSP
  server and interactively issue commands to it. Once authenticated you may
  issue any IMAP or IMSP command by simply typing it in. It is capable of
  multiple SASL authentication mechanisms and handles encryption layers
  transparently. This utility is often used for testing the operation of an
  IMSP or IMAP server. Also those developing IMAP clients find it useful.

OPTIONS
  -p port
       Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "imap" as defined in
       /etc/services.

  -m mechanism
       Force imtest to use mechanism for authentication. If not specified the
       strongest authentication mechanism supported by the server is chosen.

  -u user
       Username to use for authentication; defaults to the current user.

  -a user
       Authname to use for authentication; defaults to the current user.

  -l num
       Maximum protection layer to use (0=none; 1=integrity; etc). For
       example if you are using the KERBEROS_V4 authentication mechanism
       specifing 0 will force imtest to not use any layer and specifying 1
       will force it to use the integrity layer. By default the maximum
       supported protection layer will be used.

  -r realm
       Specify the realm to use. Certain authentication mechanisms (e.g.
       DIGEST-MD5) may require one to specify the realm.

  -f file
       Pipe file into connection after authentication.

  -v   Verbose. Print out more information than usual.

  -z   Timing test.
