As the subject says. This may be a bit open-ended - but it would really help troubleshooting some obscure folder issues.
In my case, I happen to have both some "real" folders and also some "virtual" folders that respond to IMAP LIST commands with the "\NoSelect" flag - and I don't know why. Via telnet, I can manually issue SELECT, SEARCH, and FETCH for such folders without errors.

\NoSelect folders are usually namespace boundaries and non-existing folders, such as parents for children in systems where the parents do not need to exist for real.
You should not be able to SELECT a \NoSelect folder.
