Ah, that is a pity. |in the sense that the editor carries on normally. He saves back to |/tmp/s-nail<whatever>, leaves the editor, and only then gets the imap |error message and finds that his work in the editor has been lost. But .. what has editing to do with IMAP? Today the new IMAP standard revisions has been published, finally. IMAP is not meant to send messages, even though some allow, i think it is .. part of the JMAP Mail standard, RFC 8621, submission via JMAP, actually via SMTP, but over JMAP, but somewhere that explicit note i have read regarding IMAP. Your friend should be able to simply force `disconnect' and then `connect' again to get back into IMAP. I personally do not set folder to IMAP because of the problems, *folder* is just too special in my opinion. But well. Not before Christman 2022 that this is better, if i get there. You know, they all drive me grazy, OAuth etc., you need HTTP, but then .. how long HTTP 1.1? When 2.0, when QUIC? And asynchronous DNS lookup in C we also need. 'Thinking about using cURL, many have it in the base system anyway, but i hate it. Especially since then the SSL layer can no longer use SSL_CONF_cmd and the other nice goodies, because we have to configure all that via cURL. I was so prowd of my own network code and my own DNS resolver back in the day, now that. Ugly. Other than that .. Charlie Watts died! What a loss. The pressure, the power, i loved it.
