Mutt apparently does not honor the [ALERT] IMAP server response code.
According to the IMAP RFC's, it must.

Here's a log of the IMAP dialogue between my mutt client and the IMAP
server. As you will see, the server is indeed issuing an ALERT on the
second-to-last line of the output.

--- BEGIN IMAP CONVERSATION ---
a0001 OK User logged in
a0002 LIST "" ""
* LIST (\Noselect) "." ""
a0002 OK Completed
a0003 SELECT "INBOX"
* FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen)
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen \*)]
* 16 EXISTS
* 0 RECENT
* OK [UNSEEN 5]
* OK [UIDVALIDITY 940975445]
* NO [ALERT] Mailbox is at 51% of quota
a0003 OK [READ-WRITE] Completed  
--- END IMAP CONVERSATION ---

I never see any kind of warning.

If it's helpful, here's mutt -v:

I don't think I'm on the list anymore, so please CC me on any
responses.  I'd like to know if I'm missing something, or if this is
indeed a bug.

Thanks!
