IMAP error

[Roy Lemmon]

Hi,

I am trying to setup a dovecot server on my laptop to serve my emails to
emacs gnus. The emails are pulled from the mail server using isync into
particular directories. I am using a Guix system.

The dovecot service is running. I can telnet into it with:

telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE LITERAL+
STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready.

However if I then do:

b select inbox
b BAD Error in IMAP command received by server

I have not logged in as I have not set any username or password. I assumed
that access was open on localhost. Is this not correct ?

I am not sure how to check further. I have checked the configuration and it
is pointing to my email directories, imap is enabled etc.

Thanks
Roy.
