Let's suppose that an IMAP server discovers that the UIDVALIDITY for the mailbox that a client currently has open has changed. Perhaps the mailbox was renamed by another client and the UIDVALIDITY had to be changed to guarantee the name+UIDVALIDITY+UID uniqueness property, perhaps something happened behind the server's back. Is sufficient for the server to send unsolicited UIDVALIDITY, UIDNEXT, EXISTS, RECENT, and UNSEEN messages (as if the client had re-selected the mailbox) or will that just confuse existing clients and it should just close the connection with some appropriate text in the untagged BYE?
