…with spaces
Add a note to IMAP4.select() documenting that mailbox names containing
spaces must be quoted by the caller, e.g. M.select('"my important mail"').

The
IMAP4.select()docs don't mention that mailbox names containing spaces must be quoted by the caller. Since_command()sends arguments as-is (no auto-quoting), a call likeM.select('my important mail')sends the space-delimited name to the server, causing errors.Added a note to the
select()method documentation showing the correct usage:M.select('"my important mail"').Fixes #148770.
