I am not sure, but here is my theory: If imap errors are not catched by
imap_errors(), they will be spit out by php's imap extension at shutdown
time. Because this happens after all page content has been sent to the
browser already, this might under certain circumstances (e.g. if enabling
page compression) cause problems with some browsers, while others just
ignore that output or handle it more gracefully.
