I have the following tunnel script for an IMAP server:
#!/bin/sh
ssh HOST imapd | tee /tmp/imap-run
Two problems:
1) without the tee, the tunnel simply does not work. I hope someone
can tell me why :)
2) occasionally I'll get a disconnect "garbage" message that Gnus
doesn't know how to handle. Maybe that's related to (1).
This is a Courier IMAP server.
Thanks
Ted

Maybe toggling imap-process-connection-type help?

Perhaps the parser is not robust when it come to non-IMAP protocol
behavior. What happens when this occur?

It did not, unfortunately.

The IMAP server sends a disconnect message, but it's not in *Messages*
- only in the minibuffer, and gets dismissed as soon as I do anything.

OK, finally I caught the message :)
Garbage: ERR: DISCONNECTED, user=lifelogs, ip=[127.0.0.1], headers=36318, body=72595, time=2461
* BYE Disconnected for inactivity.
(Courier IMAP)

It looks like this come from the other end. I think the error message
is correct, then, since it is garbage. Perhaps you could replace tee
with 'grep -v ^ERR:.DISCONNECTED' or something. There isn't any other
problem, except for the Garbage: echo area text, right?

No, no problem at all, I was just hoping this could be parsed as the
timeout disconnect message of Courier IMAP. It doesn't bother me.

Hm. I'm not sure it would be a good idea to start adding parsing of
non-IMAP protocol to imap.el. Perhaps adding a hook to handle
non-IMAP data would be a cleaner approach, then nnimap, or some other
add-on package, could use that hook to recognize the above string and
do something useful.
