First type
$ cd ~/Desktop
$ sudo tcpdump -D
You'll be asked for your password and then a list of network interfaces will appear.
Password:
1.en0
2.bridge0
3.utun0
4.en1
5.p2p0
6.lo0
Choose the first interface from the list (in this case "en0") and use it in a second tcpdump command:
$ sudo tcpdump -i en0 -w imap.pcap port 143
That will run until you stop it by pressing Ctrl-C. Leave it running for at least 10 minutes and then stop it. You should then have a file called "imap.pcap" on your desktop. Please send that to me.
