Use tcpdump, to dump the network packets.

Record the traffic using sieveshell then compare it with what kmail generate.
use
# tcpdump  -n -i lo -s 4096 -X port 2000
or
# tcpdump  -n -i eth0 -s 4096 -X port 2000

Try to reconize our login, password, command, ...
The protocol is very easy to understand.
