I checked the man page of timsieved. There is not much information about valid commands. I am not sure how can I input my auth name and user name to be able to login.

The PLAIN authentication method seems to be defined in rfc2595.txt.

The example given for ACAP in the rfc is:
               C: a003 AUTHENTICATE "PLAIN" {21+}
               C: <NUL>tim<NUL>tanstaaftanstaaf
               S: a003 OK CRAM-MD5 password initialized

enter a <NUL> character (at least I don't know how it would be done).

I've been able to telnet to the timsieved by enabling the LOGIN authentication
mechanism.  However you'll have to be able to convert username and password to
base64 inorder to use it.

I do have C++ source for a b64echo which I can post if anyone wants it.

Sieve commands are defined in:
   cyrus-imapd-x.y.z/doc/sieve-protocol.html
