Would it be possible to make fetchmail more robust in this situation,
and just treat it in the same way as it would an empty folder? This
would be a very worthwhile option IMHO.
Unfortunately. I don't think so. Within the RFCs, I don't know of a way
for fetchmail to tell a ninexistent mailbox from other error conditions
that it really should barf on.
