I think that the imap code is easy to understand and I think that it
shouldn't take you to long time to hack something up.

I think that's the best solution.

First of all try to identify the problem. Sniff the unencrypted traffic
between your server and mutt, try to make it reproducable to others and
attach a debugger to see what could be wrong.
