[Dovecot] Pegasus Mail + IMAP

[Rick Romero]

I really can't figure out what's going on below with IMAP and Pegasus
MAil

Timo, are you saying that the LIST "" "" is a valid command and dovecot
should be returning something - or should I hit up the Pegasus Mail
guys?

Other clients are functional, but none of them start a session with LIST
"" ""
