Do you have expect installed?  Something like the below might help.

----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/expect -f

spawn -noecho telnet localhost imap
expect {
	timeout {exit 1}
	-re "Escape character is '(.*)'.\r*\n" {}
}
expect {
	timeout					{exit 1}
	eof					{exit 2}
	-re "^. OK .* server ready\r*\n"	{}
	-re "."					{exit 2}
}
send ". LOGOUT\r\n"
exit 0
