This "a01" is a tag - IMAP syntax has every command tagged. You can  
use any short string, basically - most often I use a dot, or a single  
letter, when I'm speaking IMAP directly. So typically you'll type  
something like:

tag COMMAND arg1 arg2

> list "Mail" "*"
> list BAD Null command

Here you supplied a tag, but no command - you want:

a list "Mail" "*"

Or more likely:

a list "" "*"

No tag at all - you want:

. logout

Again, you've not used a tag anywhere here, so Cyrus decides you're  
trying to do the commands "cyrus" and "satimiscyrus", neither of  
which are in its table - so it thinks you're probably just not  
authorized to use them.

They probably do if you use the right syntax:

. CAPABILITY
. LOGOUT
