I figured part of it out!

I was testing this plugin simply by doing a telnet localhost 143 and expecting the plugin to kick in right away.

But that is not happening. The plugin will not initialize until you issue a login command!

I now see my plugin being loaded and it is printing the debug messages in _init() and _deinit().
