IMAP
NONEXISTENT — NONEXISTENT
Tried to access something that doesn't exist
Riposte solution
The operation attempted to access or manipulate something that does not exist (like a nonexistent mailbox or message). Make sure the identifiers or names you're using are correct. If a mailbox was recently renamed or a message deleted, update your references. Handle this by informing the user or just logging it and moving on; the object isn't there, so the operation is effectively moot.
