IMAP

ALERT — ALERT

Server alert message (important condition)

Riposte solution

The IMAP server sent an alert message (e.g., quota warnings or other important info). Riposte will pass this along if relevant. There's no direct fix via API, but you should heed the message. For example, if the alert says the account is over quota, you might pause the account and notify the user. Always log or surface IMAP ALERTs to administrators or users as they often require attention.
