A typical server reply for this error condition is something like:
fetchmail: IMAP< A0005 NO EXAMINE failed: Can't open mailbox
mail/inboxes/foo: no such mailbox
Surely it wouldn't be dangerous to add a simple pattern match for
errors like this, while leaving the behaviour for unrecognised errors
as it is currently?
Relying on IMAP behavior not specifired in the RFCs is a recipe for grief,
heartburn, subtle bugs, and endless flamage. Been there, done that, have
the scars to show for it, and don't want to do it again.

Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government
of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others?
