[Question #232320]: M-x vm-imap-list-folders fails with IMAP error: "server said NO" on Google Mail

 

New question #232320 on VM:
https://answers.launchpad.net/vm/+question/232320

M-x vm-imap-list-folders fails with IMAP error: "server said NO" when issued on a Google Mail IMAP account. It seems that VM doesn't handle the situation when an IMAP folder that contains subfolder does "not exist". From the related IMAP trace:

VM STATUS "[Gmail]/Drafts" (MESSAGES RECENT)
* STATUS "[Gmail]/Drafts" (MESSAGES 2 RECENT 0)
VM OK Success
VM STATUS "[Gmail]/All Mail" (MESSAGES RECENT)
* STATUS "[Gmail]/All Mail" (MESSAGES 11893 RECENT 0)
VM OK Success
VM STATUS "[Gmail]" (MESSAGES RECENT)
VM NO [NONEXISTENT] Invalid folder: [Gmail] (Failure)
VM LOGOUT
* BYE LOGOUT Requested

Any ideas how to fix this?
