How can you corrupt an IMAP mailbox?  AFAIK, it is impossible.  (Marc, the
inventor of IMAP, will correct me if I'm wrong.)

I did leave out the one possible flaw, if a mail client marked messages
as deleted AND expunged them.  But both of those happening via a bug
in a mail program seems very very unlikely, IMHO.
