I'm trying to connect to gmail imap, but I am unable to execute any commands after login.
I'm running openssl s_client -connect imap.gmail.com:993
to connect then,
* OK Gimap ready for requests from 128.146.221.118 42if6514983iwn.40 . CAPABILITY * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UNSELECT IDLE NAMESPACE QUOTA XLIST CHILDREN XYZZY SASL-IR AUTH=XOAUTH . OK Thats all she wrote! 42if6514983iwn.40 . LOGIN {email removed} {password removed} * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE NAMESPACE QUOTA ID XLIST CHILDREN X-GM-EXT-1 UIDPLUS COMPRESS=DEFLATE . OK {email removed} authenticated (Success) . CAPABILITY
at which point it simply hangs with the connection open. I'm guessing gmail pushes you off to a node in a cluster after it authenticate me?
