It looks like your IMAP server is giving some unexpected response.  Here is
how we can track it down:

- Eval the expression

    (setq vm-imap-keep-trace-buffer 10)

- Run M-x vm-list-imap-folders

- List buffers and find the buffer with a name like "trace of IMAP..."  (or
it could be renamed to "saved trace of IMAP...").  It should have 
   "-- connected for folders"
somewhere at the top and have a whole bunch of STATUS commands.

- Send me the contents of this buffer, and I will check what is going wrong.

Cheers,
