If it is explicitly configured for ONLY imap then of course pop3
will not work. So a "telnet localhost imap" is called for. Of course,
actually logging in is a pain and probably will require reading and
figuring out the imap RFCs. It requires an N digit serial number with
leading zeros in front of each command.
