This was never a bug but a usability issue. The term "Mailbox does  
not exist" comes from the
IMAP server. Chandler tried to access a mailbox ie. "Chandler Folder"  
that no longer existed on the
server because it was deleted outside of Chandler (In an IMAP  
client). This is standard IMAP
stuff however it would be nice if Chandler could offer a more user  
friendly error message.
