Are you using some funky proxy or something?  I don't see SERVER when
I connect to it:

[jas@localhost jas]$ telnet fastmail.fm imap
Trying 209.61.183.86...
Connected to fastmail.fm (209.61.183.86).
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK IMAP4 Ready www.fastmail.fm

In any case I'd say a server the returned SERVER * OK foo as a
greeting was quite broken.
