Wouldn't a client that keeps local copies of all IMAP boxes then synchronize to that canned state, i.e., delete all locally cached mails?
I'm pretty sure they will. I'm not aware of any good way to handle this, other than ALERTs.
Isn't this the exact reason to return the UNAVAILABLE response (RFC 5530)?
Yeah, but that's a pretty new RFC and I don't think there are many (if any..) clients that support it. Still, it is what Dovecot uses for reporting "internal authentication failure".
