An strace of a run using imap commands shows imap_open properly opening the connection and logging in.. other imap commands running fine, but when imap_status runs it tries to log into the mailbox with incorrect parameters, using {\d}, (ie, {4}, {5}, etc...) in place of things like the mailbox name, userid, password, etc... The result is multiple "login incorrect" messages as it tries a few times to log in.. The command worked fine in 4.0.3 (all code with the command stopped working in 4.0.4)..

Max Kalika [cced] and I spent a fair amount of time tracking down
a problem like this we encountered while hacking on IMP.

Look at this thread for a bit more information:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=imp&m=97681331109677&w=2

It seems to be tied in to whether or not you connect via
a CNAME. For example, putting in 'localhost' fails for me
if localhost is not in /etc/hosts (since it then defaults to
the localhost.domainname CNAME in most dns entries).

Max, have you had a chance to look at this at all? It's come and
gone for me for over six months. Also, I have not been able to
reproduce it in a non-Linux system (I copied Max's CVS tree
of IMP verbatim to my OpenBSD machine, and it worked fine
without this problem using my c-client/PHP setup, which were
exactly the same versions as Max's).
