It looks like your server is not supporting STARTTLS command (explicit SSL/TLS mode, where you first connect on plain text port and then secure the connection).

Consider using ConnectSSL instead:

imap.ConnectSSL("imap.example.com");
imap.UseBestLogin("user", "pass");

You can find more details on how to use SSL/TLS and IMAP here:
