You could use imtest and pop3test from the cyrus suite. The newer
versions should work with a dovecot server too. (Older ones were buggy
and expected more output than dovecot sent.)
For Perl exist several modules/libray to home brew your tests.
use Mail::IMAPClient;
my $s = new Mail::IMAPCLient(
Server => …,
User => …,
…
) or die $@;
$s->examine("INBOX") or die $@;
… and so on.
