Comment:

 I think we actually want this exception handling one layer higher--around
 `imap_loop` rather than around `imap.select` Our connection is probably
 hosed at this point so we can't jump back into `imap.select` and need to
 reconnect.

 I notice that we are already handling `imaplib.IMAP4.abort` in the main
 loop--I'll add exception handling there. That's also a nice place because
 it has the rate limiter that will keep us from reconnecting too fast if
 something is seriously wrong.
