I get a different response:

~$ telnet solipym.net 143
Trying 88.25.37.109...
Connected to solipym.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK solipym Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.13-Debian-2.2.13-19 server ready

I would stick to not using the full email address for you username, unless
you created you mailboxes with a domain name. How do you login from your
webmail client?

Also, you can try an authentication to the server like this (it will not be
encrypted though):

~$ telnet solipym.net 143
Trying 88.25.37.109...
Connected to solipym.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK solipym Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.13-Debian-2.2.13-19 server ready
c <user> <pass>
