[PATCH 3/3] IMAP: Don't use assert() in folder.savemessage()

We simply assert()ed that APPENDing a message returned OK, but in some
cases (e.g. Google chat messages) APPEND might return BAD or NO too. We
should be throwing an OfflineImapError here at MESSAGE level, so that we
can continue to sync all other messages, and still give the user some
details on what went wrong at the end of the sync run.
