Hi,

I just happened on a new IMAP problem:

I had been moving and renaming a lot of IMAP folders on the server 
(not using TheBat.) When I fired up TheBat again, it was unable to do 
much of anything: Right after connecting to the server it aborted 
with the following log message:

!19.02.2012, 12:16:12: IMAP  - Server reports error. The response is:  BYE too 
many errors

On scanning the IMAP log further, I noticed that TheBat had been 
calling upon the no-longer existing folders one by one and causing an 
error for each one. After a number of those, the server closed the 
connection.

I was able to solve it by manually disconnecting from the server, then 
calling up "Manage IMAP folders". The list was refreshed, the old 
folders vanished, and after this the connections no longer failed.


Perhaps there should be some error handling in TheBat: If the server 
responds "unknown folder", the connection should be halted (not to 
risk further errors) and a dialog should pop up like this one:

"Folder could not be located on server. Sync folder list with server 
now? (Yes/No)"
