[imp] Multiple login attempts despite login_tries=1?

There is nothing you (or we) can do about this, at least pre-PHP  
5.2.1.  imap_open() will automatically attempt to connect to the  
remote IMAP server three times before giving up.

As of PHP 5.2.1, a parameter has been added to imap_open() to allow  
the end-user to explicitly set the number of retry attempts.  IMP will  
use this parameter automatically for all PHP 5.2.1+ setups (as of CVS  
HEAD).
