Since you didn't give the full output of your program, I'm guessing
that your IMAP server's response has a "(" character in the wrong spot.

If you can provide your code and debugging output from a session with
the server that shows this issue maybe somebody can fix it. Even
better would be a login to the server set up to show this problem.

Without a reliable way to reproduce this problem nobody can help you
fix it.

I use net/imap 24 times a day on mailboxes that combined total around
10,000 messages with the IMAPCleanse gem. I've never had any
problems. So far I know my tool has been used against dovecot and UW-
IMAP without problem.
I consider automatic processing of my email serious business and net/
imap has not failed me yet.
