These values have different meanings, so yes it can be quite confusing. In some places, these are used invalidly as well, which adds to the confusion. SMTP is different from IMAP as IMAP is a richer protocol, so the same conventions do not work so well. The main difference is that SMTP always yields a single response, but IMAP can return any number of responses - one final tagged response and multiple untagged responses.

• err.imapResponse is for IMAP response codes - these are standardized values
• err.response is human readable error message - this can be whatever
• err.responseMessage and err.response should probably be the same thing

Thank you for the clarification, we're slowly learning more! 🙇

Perhaps update err.response → err.responseMessage in the codebase? (per your last bullet point)
