IMAP

CONTACTADMIN — CONTACTADMIN

Contact administrator for assistance

Riposte solution

The server returned a generic failure that suggests you need to contact the system administrator. This means something is wrong server-side or with the account configuration that you, as a developer, cannot fix via code. Log this error and alert the user/admin that manual intervention is required. You should probably pause actions for this account until the underlying issue is resolved by an admin.
