StatusParser required the mailbox name to be double-quoted (`STATUS "INBOX" (...)`). RFC 3501 allows the name to be sent as an atom, and Dovecot does so (`STATUS INBOX (...)`), so the regex never matched and MESSAGES/UNSEEN/UIDNEXT were silently left at 0 for every mailbox. The regex now accepts either a quoted string or an atom.

Problem
StatusParserrequired the mailbox name to be double-quoted:RegExp(r'(STATUS "[^"]+?" )(.*)'). RFC 3501 allows the mailbox to be sent as an atom, and Dovecot does so (* STATUS INBOX (MESSAGES 231 UNSEEN 5 ...)), so the regex never matched andmessagesExists/messagesUnseen/uidNextwere silently left at 0 for every mailbox on such a server.Fix
The regex accepts either a quoted string or an atom:
(STATUS (?:"[^"]+?"|[^ (]+) )(.*). The existing test for a quoted name containing brackets still passes.Tests
New test in
status_parser_test.dartforSTATUS INBOX (MESSAGES 231 UNSEEN 5 UIDNEXT 4392). Fails againstmain.
