New submission from tahnoon pasha:
Hi I've suddenly encountered an error using imaplib on some code that worked
fine before.
import imaplib
m = imaplib.IMAP4('myserver','port')
m.login(r'username','password')
m.select()
gives me the error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 649, in select
typ, dat = self._simple_command(name, mailbox)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 1070, in _simple_command
return self._command_complete(name, self._command(name, *args))
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 899, in _command_complete
raise self.abort('command: %s => %s' % (name, val))
imaplib.abort: command: SELECT => unexpected response: '* 1520 EXISTS'
I'm not sure what it means. Emails are otherwise coming through fine, and I'm
using davmail as a server.
The program in its entirety saves attachments with a certain name in a specific
folder.
I've stepped through it and its definitely the `m.select()` that is where its
falling over.
This same program worked absolutely fine until recently.
What am I doing wrong, and how do I fix it?

I understand that this seems to be occurring because of the extra spaces in the
final RETURN from a query on stack overflow
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16911238/python-imaplib-error-unexpected-repsonse
and it was suggested I file an issue report.
I'm using Davmail as the server on Ubuntu 13.04 and the server works fine with
Thunderbird, Fetchmail and Evolution
My first attempt at filing an issue so apologies if I've done something wrong.
