check_imap_login Plugin

great script.
working on my enviroment.
thanks mate!

We have made a modification of this script for tracking the IMAP response time, with warning and critical thresholds attached to it, as well as printing out the performance data.

You can find the modified version here:

Thanks for the original script!

Works OK for me,...

What I saw is that in case the imap server goes down, the check breaks and returns a lot of garbage and exits with "1" (warning). The same happens in case the port is not up.

I made a small modification:

Thanks for the check!
