Like the IOERRORs relating to SIEVE these are not really "errors", they
just mean there is not SQUAT index for the mailbox.  Whether or not that
matters to you depends.  SQUAT indexes are used when searching a mailbox
(rather than just listing the messages);  and they'll only help you if
your IMAP client supports server-side IMAP search rather than just
downloading all messages and performing the search client-side.  On the
other hand unless your mailstore is very large/busy they don't cost
much.
