The command that caused the problem:

511 UID FETCH * UID

(copying emacs-devel regarding the maintenance issue)

Simon Josefsson hasn't replied to my pings, so I think he may not be
available for imap.el support.  Simon, please let us know if that's not
the case.

I'm willing to dig further and maybe support imap.el if no one else
wants it, but honestly the IMAP RFCs are unpleasant and annoy me, so I
need a better explanation of the protocol.  Google was not helpful.  Can
anyone suggest an IMAP primer I can read?  I'm interested in the actual
protocol, so the more concrete the examples, the better.

Thanks
