New submission from Sjoerd <sjoerd-pyt...@linuxonly.nl>: If you do not IMAP4.select(), you get the following error: imaplib.error: command SEARCH illegal in state AUTH.
This does not inform the user that he has to do IMAP4.select(). Better would be: imaplib.error: command SEARCH illegal in state AUTH, allowed in state SELECTED.
