[Dovecot] telnet virtual users

[jan gestre]

Hi Guys,

I've installed postfix + dovecot + postfixadmin + mysql in my CentOS 4.5 box
and I would like to test it using telnet however I can't telnet it using the
following syntax:

$ telnet localhost pop3

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK Dovecot ready.
user testuser at domain.com
pass password

-ERR Authentication failed.

I've also telnet it using imap to no avail.

Is there another way to do this?

TIA
