Do you have expect installed? Something like the below might help.
----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/expect -f
spawn -noecho telnet localhost imap
expect {
timeout {exit 1}
-re "Escape character is '(.*)'.\r*\n" {}
}
expect {
timeout {exit 1}
eof {exit 2}
-re "^. OK .* server ready\r*\n" {}
-re "." {exit 2}
}
send ". LOGOUT\r\n"
exit 0
