The first hit on google for "cyrus telemetry" give this:

http://www.irbs.net/internet/info-cyrus/0604/0313.html

Which is a pretty good description.  Basically, you create a directory
in <config dir>/log/ with the username of the user you want to watch,
and it logs all traffic on connections for that user.

(something like /var/imap/log/brong for me)

It sounds like there's an issue with the encoding of a folder name to
me - when Mac mail sends it.  Telemetry will show it.

Sounds like there's an ImapUTF-7 encoding/decoding issue - probably not
re-encoding the value for one end.
