what is your MAILBOX env. set to in dovecot.conf?

What exactly passes on the wire? Can you get a dump of the session?

I have a feeling that the imap client is supposed to take this string

One useful tool dovecot borrowd from uw-imapd is "pre-authentication":
you can use the binaries in /usr/libexec/dovecot to start an imap (or
