I have no solution to offer you but I see a similar problem in a very 
specific set of circumstances - I wonder if it may be related.

I get such faults when connecting to one particular IMAP server and 
attempting to view a mailbox sorted by thread. I could reproduce pretty 
much exactly what you describe by setting my 'View or mailbox to display 
after login' to a mailbox (rather than the 'Folder Navigator' for 
example) and my 'Default sorting criteria' to 'Thread view'. If you have 
those settings see if changing away from 'Thread view' will allow you to 
open Imp. Of course, if you can't get to Imp, you'll have to get to the 
options page by entering the URL manually, or possibly change the 
default value in config/prefs.php

When I've brought this up in the past I've been told it's an issue that 
needs raising with the c-client developers. It's notable that the IMAP 
server that I have these problems with does not have a "THREAD=" entry 
in the result of the CAPABILITY command, yet Imp does never the less 
offer me the option of a 'Thread view'.
