OK. I just tested with the latest master build of emacs.git and had no
issues. So we know it's something different in either code or IMAP
server support.

To ensure we're testing the same setup, can you try against a gmail IMAP
server? You should be able to `I' set the cloud host from the Server
buffer.

Also see if you can test with the latest checkout of master to remove
the possibility something old is broken.

OK, let's stick to nil for now to make testing easier and remove that
extra complexity.
