Bug Description

M-x vm-imap-list-folders fails with IMAP error: "server said NO" when issued on a Google Mail IMAP account. It seems that VM doesn't handle the situation when an IMAP folder that contains subfolder does "not exist". From the related IMAP trace:

VM STATUS "[Gmail]/Drafts" (MESSAGES RECENT)
* STATUS "[Gmail]/Drafts" (MESSAGES 2 RECENT 0)
VM OK Success
VM STATUS "[Gmail]/All Mail" (MESSAGES RECENT)
* STATUS "[Gmail]/All Mail" (MESSAGES 11893 RECENT 0)
VM OK Success
VM STATUS "[Gmail]" (MESSAGES RECENT)
VM NO [NONEXISTENT] Invalid folder: [Gmail] (Failure)
VM LOGOUT
* BYE LOGOUT Requested

Notice that the '[Gmail]' folder is not accessible via IMAP e.g. Thunderbird shows the folder in gray. I am using VM 8.2.0b

Any ideas how to fix this?
