           Summary: IMAP BAD responses not properly handled
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kmail-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: cshobe osss net


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.4.4 
OS:                Linux

3 CAPABILITY 
* CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=GSSAPI 
3 OK Capability completed. 
4 NAMESPACE 
4 BAD Error in IMAP command received by server. 
5 LIST "" "" 
5 BAD Error in IMAP command received by server. 

In this example, we see that kmail receives a bad response to it's namespace inquiry (which means that the IMAP protocol got violated).  "No matter!", it decides, and keeps on going.  Worst, after blatently ignoring the errors received, it then lies to the user, saying something clever like "The server imap.sk8rland.com replied: SASL(-4): no mechanism available: No worthy mechs found.  Blame them not me!!  OMG!"
