You should see AUTH=LOGIN somewhere in the Capability-Response. For example:

XX CAPABILITY
* CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN SASL-IR ACL RIGHTS=kxte QUOTA MAILBOX-REFERRALS NAMESPACE UIDPLUS NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND BINARY SORT SORT=MODSEQ THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES ANNOTATEMORE CATENATE CONDSTORE IDLE X-NETSCAPE URLAUTH
XX OK Completed

"rimap" is not able to start a SSL-Session, so you need it without issuing "STARTTLS".

This has to be changed somewhere in your Courier Configuration.
