I am having problems logging in with RoundCube, so thought I should see if there were instructions for testing Dovecot login, and sure enough I found some at:
wiki.dovecot.org/Testinstallation
Well it works, so the problem is probably all RoundCube's, but this wiki page is missing an important line about how to end the Telnet session without killing Telnet! What is the quit/exit command? And please add this to the wiki!
Oh, I just guessed it:
a logout google "imap quit telnet session" leads to http://www.yuki-onna.co.uk/email/imap.html
So there you have
c logout
and I got
a logout
to work as well.
Almost any identifier before the 'logout' will work. IMAP protocol uses a tagged command structure, so that commands can be interleaved and replies will respond with the identifier provided. I usually use '1 logout'. Note identifiers can be reused as well ;-)

PS At least it's now in the mail archives. :-)
But I might think that a testing doc can include this little tidbit, rather than do yet another search. Since this is a Dovecot test doc, I also might think it would have POP3 testing instructions! But I was happy to find the IMAP. Now to figure out why RoundCube fails to login with the same user that I logged in via Telnet.
Thanks for the pointer.
