How do I retrieve an admin email with IMAP on HTB Academy?

Since the terminal output is too long I'm gonna pastebin it here:

[https://pastebin.com/aY0MkB2y](https://p.../aY0MkB2y)

So to summarize:

This is for the IMAP/POP3 section on footprinting module. I am trying to get admin email address. I want a hint in the right direction and not to be given answer please btw. I managed to login to the IMAP server with SSLConnect and I selected the inbox. I can list subfolders but can't select specific subfolders even with pages I googled that should tell me how.

What am I not getting here?

Not sure, but here's some useful hints:
LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." DEV
LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." DEV.DEPARTMENT LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." DEV.DEPARTMENT.INT
LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." INBOX

case sensitive


Also, obviously using CLI is nice but sometimes it's easier to just install a simple email client that works imap

i'd probably recommend evolution as you'll be able to install that and connect to the mail account within 2 mins

Which of the section are you trying to solve. I might help you with it. Also reference hacktricks under IMAP/POP you will see some help command. Easily, you could use EVOLUTION and configure it (Check Hacktricks xyz)
Hi I solved this one a while ago. I actually forgot to say I solved it on HF because I'm on so many different hacking forums and discords so ya.

Thank you I am getting good responses here. I won't post answer because I don't want to spoil it for anyone.
