I've changed this default delimiter allready. But I wanted to examine how
and why it sometimes failed. At least with Cyrus 2.1.x best option seemed
to use namespace='INBOX'. Removing addPreabmle() from getDelimiter would
have send imap command LIST "" %, this can be quite costly in terms of
performance. Though the current getDelimiter code sends LIST "" % command
if namespace and folders are undefined.

Maybe to correct solution to find out the delimiter would be to use IMAP's
NAMESPACE command, but I don't know wheter or not c-client and/or php has
support for it.
