Re: [NET] Unexpectedly long IMAP protocol response

I was unaware 3.12.0 was out, my apologies.

Yes, 3.12.0 is much better. In the last 5 mins, I have tested both 
versions. 10 trials with 3.12.0, 10 successful conversations. With 
3.11.1, 10 trials, 8 of which ended with the same exception that I posted.

So, yes, only anecdotal evidence, but that which does suggest that 
3.12.0 would work going forward where 3.11.1 would not.

So, you must have increased the expected IMAP reply string length in 
3.12.0? Thank you!
