telnet

I have an Mailbox which multiple users have access to, it works fine for me and I can add it in Outlook as an additional mailbox to my account and list all its content.

I can access my personal mailbox using IMAP, I'm testing it by just telneting in and LIST'ing it.

The problem is that another user trying to access it is having problems accessing it through IMAP; and I want to test if I can access the shared mailbox with my account - how can I do that in terms of IMAP commands?

What I am doing now is:

telnet mail.server
01 LOGIN user pass
02 LIST "" *
03 LOGOUT

Edit: If there is another way to test this, that is an equally good answer.
