IMAP

TRYCREATE — TRYCREATE

Mailbox doesn't exist; try to CREATE it

Riposte solution

The server is suggesting that a mailbox doesn't exist and should be created. This often happens if you attempted to select or append to a mailbox that isn't there. To resolve, create the mailbox first. If using Riposte's IMAP integration, you might need to create the folder externally (or via an IMAP command if supported). After ensuring the mailbox exists, retry the operation.
