I was going to say, the IMAP implementation of Outlook is indeed bad!
But that's "good" that you're hitting this issue with Dovecot running
locally, as that's a setup with fewer confounding variables, and also
what I run, so maybe we stand a better chance of reproducing.

Maybe it's time to dive in :( Greg, if you're willing, would you provide
as much details as possible about your setup, and anything/everything
you can remember about what happened/happens before you see this error?

All your nnimap settings are of interest, obviously, but you might as
well send anything that could possibly be relevant, off-list if you'd
prefer.

And if you do see the error crop up again, please let us know what you
were doing immediately before, and if at all possible, leave Gnus in the
broken state until we can do some remote debugging.

Thanks!
Eric
