P.S. Just for interest's sake I wrote this really dodgy script. Put it in inet for port 143. In Mozilla-thunderbird it gives no errors, just nothing actually happens. Not sure what Outlook etc will do.

#!/bin/bash

echo "* OK imap maintenance ready"
sleep 2
echo "* CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 IDLE NAMESPACE MAILBOX-REFERRALS SCAN SORT THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=LOGIN"
echo "* OK CAPABILITY completed"
sleep 2
echo "* BAD Maintenance mode"

That should be NO, not BAD, and you can improve it with ALERT:

  * NO [ALERT] Maintenance mode, back in two minutes

BAD means that the client sent a syntactically bad command, NO means that the server will not execute the client's command for some reason ("permission denied" or whatever). ALERT means that the client can/should forward the message to the user. Some do, most don't.
