[imp] Speeding up imap

[Kent Martin]

No, not at all.

It reduces the number of times you have to authenticate to IMAP (by 
default, by about 80% IIRC, so, 1 in 5 pages still does an IMAP auth) - 
my method would get rid of authenticating to IMAP altogether.

It also still uses TCP - my method gets rid of this, but has the added 
overhead of invoking a couple of shell commands.
