Close. The first is for a failed PLAIN attempt, and the second is for
IMAP LOGIN. This is a bug in IMAP.pm that I fixed in CVS. If you're
interested, just comment (or remove) the following line:
$opts{-mechanism} .= 'PLAIN';
This line was forcing cyradm to try PLAIN even if the server didn't
advertise it.
