PROXYAUTH is a non standard command:
http://www.washington.edu/imap/listarch/2000/msg00215.html
(follow the thread).

The right thing to do is use the authenticate method, unfortunately it's 
not implemented in python imaplib. I don't understand why the imaplib 
developer(s) implemented the nonstandard command instead of the standard 
one.
