Some IMAP servers return an extra blank line after a counted literal value, which makes imaplib crash.
MacOS mail and T'bird handle the blank line OK so it seems to be a somewhat common bug.

How does it fail? Can you provide a reproducer and add a unit test to the PR?

It causes an exception and traceback, don't remember which exception six months later.  I'll see if I can add a suitable test case to the unit test.
