I am having an odd problem in dovecot, the first time I try to login via telnet dovecot gives a error, the second time it works, both within the same telnet session.
This is the telnet session, note the 'BAD Error in IMAP command received by server' and the "a OK" just after that :
telnet 192.168.1.2 143
* OK Waiting for authentication process to respond..
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready.
a login someUserLogin supersecretpassword
* BAD Error in IMAP command received by server.

This is the log file:
