Also a late comer to this thread....  But I have a question....

I see from your emails on the thread your email is
hennebry at web.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu.  It would seem to indicate that when you
connect to the Web Client you may enter "hennebry" as your username?
Is that the case?  Or, is your username really "Michael.Hennebry" as
defined in your fetchmailrc?

The other thing....the web pages at nodak.edu would seem to suggest that
you have to request IMAP access from the IT department before they
enable it.  Is that the case?  Have you contacted the IT department to
ensure it has been enabled for your account?

Do you happen to have a smart phone, or access to a smart phone, to test
using a different mobile device?

The problem seems to be a straight forward "failure to authenticate".
