Certain servers are known to give us problems in our DIGEST-MD5 implement and as the person who maintains the email protocols here, I've not got to the bottom of it yet, due to lack of access to such servers - my apologies :(

What version of curl are you using? I'm guess from your log output something that is pre v7.37.0?
Are you able to try again with either v7.37.0 or v7.37.1 (The latest)?
If not, is it possible to obtain the communication from Python's imaplib to see what it sends and receives from your server - this might be useful anyway if the latest version still fails.
Kind Regards
