no error message with IMAP IDLE and several accounts

[Volker Wysk]

Fetchmail supports only one mail account in conjunction with IMAP IDLE. That's a pity. However, it should at least produce a proper error message when IMAP IDLE is used and several accounts exist.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

This bug is present in Debian too, and Ubuntu currently doesn't make any changes over the Debian package. So this bug would be best fixed directly in Debian, and then Ubuntu will pick up the fix automatically.

Would you mind filing a bug with Debian please?

Note that this limitation is documented in the manual page.
