Brute-forcing IMAP passwords
Password auditing checks have the purpose of discovering weak passwords on critical systems such as mail servers. Organizations must prevent users from using weak passwords that could be targeted with brute-force password attacks.

How to do it...
To perform brute-force password auditing against IMAP, use the following command:
$ nmap -p143 --script imap-brute <target>
All the valid accounts found will be listed in the script output section:
