IMAP allows servers a lot of latitude in what they return. this tends
to make interoperability testing difficult. work would be needed to
improve the framework and the scripts before they could be used for
true interoperability testing. not sure that this is an itch for me
but i would have no objections if someone wanted to volunteer to take
this on.
