Allow us to observe massive imaps bugs.

Held 1 message in imaps://........com

Are you sure you held it?

No you didn't hold it. So don't say you did.

And even worse, now with no messages, instead of saying "No applicable
messages" (like it used to before the IMAP server was upgraded), it now says:

$ mail.mailutils --file imaps://........%40...........:***@.....................com
Cannot read mailbox imaps:....com: Invalid reply from the remote host

(IMAP server: homie.mail.dreamhost.com, which was recently updated to
some new IMAP version that mail.mailutils can't deal with when there are
0 messages. No I don't know how to use --debug-level. The manual isn't
clear. No actual examples to get one started. Nor any examples on the net.)

$ mail.mailutils --version
mail.mailutils (GNU Mailutils) 3.4

"Us"? Pluralis majestatis? :)
Please run it with the option:

--debug-level='mailbox.prot,!trace9'

capture the stderr and send it to me in private. Thanks!

When trying to reproduce this with mailutils HEAD I get:

Held 0 messages in imaps://.......com

What version are you using?
