Cyrus IMAP 'CAPABILITIES' and 'AUTH=PLAIN'

Forgive me asking this question, we’ve just had a server disk that’s starting
to die in a remote location, and I’m frantically trying to clone some IMAP
users onto another server - along with a number of other things.

Despite imapd.conf having 'allowplaintext:  yes’ (it’s an internal server)
when logging in, ‘AUTH=LOGIN’ isn’t advertised, yet it works if I manually
try to login. ‘imapsync’ is complaining as it can’t see the LOGIN capability.

I’m about to start looking at the code, but if anyone can let me know if a
setting needs changed, that would be great - clearly, I’ve got a number of
things to try to get off this server ASAP, so any advice would be greatly
appreciated.

Server version is 3.0.4:

[root@imapserver /opt/local/etc/cyrus]# nc localhost 143
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID ENABLE] imapserver Cyrus IMAP 3.0.4 server ready
0 CAPABILITY

Many regards
