cd tools/
cargo build --bin imapshell
# Usage: imap_conn server_hostname server_username server_password server_port
rlwrap ./target/debug/imapshell "mail.example.com" "epilys@example.com" "hunter2" 143

Example session:

First, the IMAP connections performs its own non-interactive setup:

Then, input is read line by line and sent to the server. You don't have to prefix the commands with a unique ID, that is taken care of by the tool. Example command and reply:

LIST "" "INBOX"
[2020-08-27 17:14:53]["main"] melib/src/backends/imap/connection.rs:717_9: send_command
[2020-08-27 17:14:53]["main"] melib/src/backends/imap/connection.rs:437_9: stream send_command()
[2020-08-27 17:14:53]["main"] melib/src/backends/imap/connection.rs:459_25: sent: M8 LIST "" "INBOX"
[2020-08-27 17:14:53]["main"] melib/src/backends/imap/connection.rs:729_13: send_command ok
[2020-08-27 17:14:53]["main"] melib/src/backends/imap.rs:1241_21: out: * LIST (\HasChildren) "." INBOX
M8 OK List completed (0.000 + 0.000 secs).
