Lefteris Chatzimparmpas 3690506986 Ignore errors and retry later when in daemon mode 
A persistent failure that could lead to a session not being able to be
recovered, or a failure during the login process (which is not covered
by the recovery function), would normally cause the process to
terminate.  This is expected when the configuration is run once, but not
desirable when running in daemon mode.

And thus just after the process has become a daemon, a session that
could not be restored, either because the connection to the server could
not be established or the login and its related negotiations failed, is
now disabled temporarily, and a recoqnection is attempted at the
beginning of the next daemon loop iteration.

There is one exception to that, and that is when there is an
authentication error, for example when a wrong username or password has
been supplied, and in this case the process terminates and a relevant
error is printed.

				   IMAPFilter

Description

  IMAPFilter is a mail filtering utility. It connects to remote mail servers
  using the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), sends searching queries to
  the server and processes mailboxes based on the results. It can be used to
  delete, copy, move, flag, etc. messages residing in mailboxes at the same or
  different mail servers. The 4rev1 and 4 versions of the IMAP protocol are
  supported.

  IMAPFilter uses the Lua programming language as a configuration and extension
  language.
