sub run() is broken it does not add the sequence number to the command prior to sending it and it does not parse the response code correctly. Workaround: use _imap_command() instead.

(sorry for the slow response: it took some before I found time to look in to your report) I have compared the code of run() to that of before the major rewrite of 3.00 and compared it to _imap_command(). The run() logic seems to be exactly equivalent to that of pre-3.0... which means that in 7 years no-one complained about mis-behavior. This usually indicates that you use the method not as documented... The usage of run() and _imap_command() is different. For run() you have to provide your own tag. See manual-page. More in general: what are you trying to run? Probably, you should suggest to me to add some extra IMAP commands to the abstract interface. If I where to design the interface of the Mail::IMAPClient module, I would never have provided a "run()" method in the first place... Please help other people by providing information about the required extension.
