Unfortunately, that behavior from the IMAP server is not just bad or
wrong, but COMPLETELY in violation of standards.  This is really, really
broken on their part.

Worse, I don't think there's any way we can work around it.  I can't
imagine IMAP mail readers doing the right thing in this case either.

Super.  I've pulled your patches and am taking a look.  I really
appreciate your help.
