Hi Chris,
You could use 'fetchmail' to connect to the IMAP port and watch
the IMAP dialog in the log of fetchmail. Create a file ~/.fetchmailrc
with these lines:
set logfile /tmp/fetchmail.log
defaults
timeout 30
keep
fetchall
poll your-imap-Exchange-server-name-here protocol IMAP
username your-login-name
password yout-password
Then run
$ fetchmail -vv
and check the dialog in the log file.
