[dev] quotes around imap LOGIN command?

Quoting Matt Selsky <selsky at columbia.edu>:

>> What if your username and/or password has a space in it?  imap will

> we can use:
>
> A01 LOGIN user {4}
> + Ready for argument
> pass
>
> We don't need to do quoting.  This also has the advantage of reducing

ok, good point, i wasn't thinking about this.  go ahead and commit the 
code (remember to commit the code to MIMP_IMAPClient also).
