imaptest actually allows something similar to that. It has possibility to "expect" kind of scripts where it sends some commands and expects something specific in return. There's a tests/ directory that tests a lot of imap commands replies. I don't remember if it currently supports matching multi-line replies, and if it does it would be a bit difficult to write those for larger emails.
Anyway, it doesn't support SSL/TLS. You could run it through stunnel though.
What I need is a program that already has all the logic to do IMAP as a client already in it. This isn't about testing IMAP logic per-se. It's about making sure mail is going through OK, and logins that should fail will fail, and mail deliveries that should fail will fail (for example mail from a computer listed as blocked should never show up in the mailbox designated to test that, along with mail that has keywords specifically marked as "is always spam"). It's testing at a higher level than seeing if a given IMAP command gives the expected response (which is more of a diagnostic tool than the monitoring tool I need).
