Yes, but you are using the wrong format.  All IMAP commands and responses are 
prefixed by a 4-character string and a space.  This way a command can have 
multiple responses and multiple commands can be sent before the response for 
the first is received.  (The client matches responses to commands based on 
matching prefixes.)

So, you'll probably want your first line to be something like:
AAAA login your_username
