Disagree.  We have no control over the IMAP error returned from the  
server, and error msgs like "CRAM-MD5 lookup table blah blah blah" or  
"authentication backend returned no data" have no business being  
reported to the user.  These error messages, while useful to an ADMIN,  
are not useful to a USER.
