And some servers can be downright aggressive about.  The Firefox OS email
app experienced the Coremail IMAP servers at 163.com (and presumably all
netease-operated servers) doing things like saying "NO" to a SELECT with
the human-readable string "SELECT The login is not safe! Please update your
mail client: http://mail.163.com/dashi" when we weren't providing a (valid)
ID.  The NO to the select only happened some of the time, but the login
would result in an ad for 163.com's Android/iOS mail clients being injected
into the inbox with apparently very limited duplicate suppression.  Note
that we were using initial-TLS on port 993 with then-current Gecko/NSS.
Some more details at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1105573
for anyone interested.
