ALERT is reserved for situations which MUST be communicated to the user. If the IMAP server cannot decode a particular CTE, another response code shall be used -- this is a condition where the client shall make its decision on how to proceed, but definitely not by showing an ALERT to the user.

Please, don't use ALERT for this.

With kind regards,
