I have just received a frightening report that says that the mail client
in Android phones sends an ID command to an IMAP server that does not
advertise the ID extension, and disconnects the session when the IMAP
server returns BAD as the response.

I can NOT duplicate this problem on my Android phone, an old T-Mobile
myTouch 3G.  However, as its OS is 2 or so years old, it's possible that
this is a bug in newer versions.

The client reported to do this sends the following ID command:

2 ID ("name" "com.android.email" "os" "android" "os-version" "2.2; FROYO" "vendor" "samsung" "x-android-device-model" "GT-P1000" "x-android-mobile-net-operator" "Vodafone CZ" "AGUID" "F26+FjerfVzQ1lSlxFmbV/Yw0ak=")

Is this true?
