To test, do this (IMAP):
telnet mailserver 143 (if unsecure; for secure login change 143)
A login $logname PW
01 select INBOX/mailbox name
02 fetch M# rfc822
03 logout
You can also try
03 list "" or "foldername"
FYI, here's the same for testing POP3:
telnet mailserver 110
USER yourloginname
PASS yourpw
QUIT
There are get and display type commands for POP3, too, but I can't think
of them off the top of my head.
have fun testing
