I would rather say "ls | grep foo" is more IMAPish. But:

ls writes nothing to stdout, which is equivalent to what IMAP should do. 
It also writes an error message to stderr, and the IMAP server doesn't 
have to do that. But it can:

NO - list failure: can't list that reference or name

So I can't see that the UNIX way is different of the IMAP way, really.
