[Sjoerd]

New submission from Sjoerd :

If you do not IMAP4.select(), you get the following error:
imaplib.error: command SEARCH illegal in state AUTH.

This does not inform the user that he has to do IMAP4.select(). Better
would be: 
imaplib.error: command SEARCH illegal in state AUTH, allowed in state
SELECTED.
