[imp] IMAP Log-on warnings with Horde/IMP

[Ronnie Garcia]

  Ok, this may be annoying for you now, but i was able to reproduce the 
problem with a different imapd (courier-imap), and a different c-client lib 
version (imap-2000c).

  I'm still running the latest cvs (today's), and php's yesterday snap.

  If anyone is having any idea, i'd be pleased to hear from you..

  My original messages are bellow.

Regards,
Ronnie.
