Symptoms have varied. I think the current symptom is actually
exiting with an imap error.

Yeah, I have to do this on my regular inbox, and it works fine.
Otherwise I get the exiting behavior. But even this is insufficient
with my 100,000 message spamscreen. :(
I assume it has to do with the length of the imap commands sent...
