Interesting.  I figure the most common clients would be thunderbird,
outlook express, whatever mail client Apple is shipping by default, the
default iOS and Android clients, and maybe K9 mail and its derivatives
(because it's what I recommend to users).  Looks like I'll need to do
some testing.

Oh, neat.  This is great.

I only found it by searching; it's documented in RFC5530:

   EXPIRED
       Either authentication succeeded or the server no longer had the
       necessary data; either way, access is no longer permitted using
       that passphrase.  The client or user should get a new passphrase.

       C: d login "fred" "foo"
       S: d NO [EXPIRED] That password isn't valid any more
