Performed following test;


$ sudo nano /etc/imapd.conf
adding;
AUTH=LOGIN
AUTH=PLAIN

at the bottom.


$ imtest -m login -p imap -u satimiscyrus localhost
just hanging there.


Also tried uncomment the line;
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN


$ imtest -m login -p imap -u satimiscyrus localhost

Still the same result.
