Once authenticated you may issue any IMAP or IMSP command by simply typing it in. It is capable of multiple SASL authentication mechanisms and handles encryption layers transparently. This utility is often used for testing the operation of a imsp or imap server. Also those developing IMAP clients find it useful.</p> </td> </table></p> <a name="OPTIONS"></a> <h2>OPTIONS</h2> <!-- INDENTATION --> <p><table width="100%" border=0 rules="none" frame="void" cols="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td width="10%"></td> <td width="89%"> <p><b>−t</b> <i>keyfile</i></p></td> </table></p> <!-- INDENTATION --> <table width="100%" border=0 rules="none" frame="void" cols="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td width="21%"></td> <td width="77%"> <p>Enable TLS. <i>keyfile</i> contains the TLS public and private keys.
