[imp] HEAD: getDelimiter oddities, bug?

[Lachlan Cameron-Smith]

Temporarily you could hack lib/Folder.php to hardcode the delimiter so 
that instead of the line $delimiter = IMP_Folder::getDelimiter($stream); 
you use $delimiter = '.';

I'd like to see the delimiter become an option in servers.php - until I 
put in a hack as above on our IMP installation we had many people 
logging in simultaneously, which spawned a large number of "LIST %" 
commands from the getDelimiter function, which really slowed down the 
IMAP server response time, which really slowed down the IMP page load 
times. The delimiter stays constant for a given server, so I think it 
makes more sense to define it once in servers.php than try to discover 
it for each page loaded... I'll write up a patch against 3.1 and HEAD 
and we'll see if people agree enough to get it accepted :)

Regards,
Lachlan
