[imp] IDN auth failing in imp

[Michael M Slusarz]

Quoting info at interpost.biz:

> In response to your #1, below,  dovecot has no problems with IDN's I am told.

Are you *sure* you need the full foo at example.com to authenticate to  
the Dovecot server?  Other MUAs may be working simply because they are  
stripping off the domain.  You havent provided any verification that  
this is the case.

I'm confused why you need the IDN library.  At least for this.   
Nothing is being converted here.  IDN is only needed when preparing to  
send via legacy RFC Mail or to parse email headers in this message.   
Otherwise, an IDN is nothing more than a UTF-8 string which Horde/PHP  
handles just fine.

We have had this for years now.  But this has nothing to do with your issue.

Should be irrelevant for the current issue.

I didn't say this.  I said the IMAP LOGIN command doesn't accept  
non-ASCII characters.  But the IMAP AUTHENTICATE command does (which  
Horde/IMP supports).
