Looks to me like a standard auth failure, with that extra line.  I'd worry
about why the system isn't recognizing the password first.

PAM is what's refusing the login.  Assuming you're typing the password right
(you do have a password set on the account?), look in /etc/pam.d/imap and
see what it says.

No response, or "Connection refused"?  If the latter, it isn't enabled in
inetd.conf.
