Since one of our customers updated their server courier does not handle IMAP connections properly any more. POP3 works without any problems.
When I try to test IMAP with telnet then it is always like this:
$ telnet domain.com 143
Trying 188.40.46.214...
Connected to domain.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

I enabled debugging in the authdaemond but the output does not really help much:
Apr 12 23:10:04 servername authdaemond: received auth request, service=imap, authtype=login
Apr 12 23:10:04 servername authdaemond: authmysql: trying this module

[email protected]'
Apr 12 23:10:04 servername authdaemond: password matches successfully

Apr 12 23:10:04 servername authdaemond: Authenticated: sysusername=<null>, sysuserid=5000, sysgroupid=5000, homedir=/var/vmail,

Right after the "Authenticated" line the output stops. There is no other message. And in no other log file I've checked I could find any other related message.
The system was updated from Ubuntu 10.10 to 12.04.
How could I get more information? Or does anybody have an idea what could go wrong here?
