loss of tcp connection != loss of state. 

In my own review of several IMAP RFCs, it's clear that connection problems
have been anticipated and several options have been standardized, such as
with uidvalidity and condstor (rfc4551) (among others), which allow a
client to quickly resynchronize its state with the server in the face of
networking issues.
