Remarks

IMAP requires a server to return every data item a FETCH named, so an answer that omits one is a protocol violation rather than a state a caller can interpret. It is raised instead of interpreted because the interpretation would be destructive: reconciliation reads the absence of an answer as an email the folder no longer holds, so an answer that is present but incomplete must never be allowed to degrade into that silence.

It is distinct from MailboxUnavailableException, which says the server did not answer at all within its budget. Here the server answered and the answer cannot be trusted, so the run ends and no local state is derived from it; the folder's next run asks again.
