A few days ago I sent a message, that my password had a "}" in it, so I
couldn't log in to the courier-imap server; the IMAP RFC says that an
atom with a "}" does not need to be quoted, but courier rejects unquoted
atoms with "}" characters. My imap client (evolution 1.2.2) was not
quoting the atom, making it impossible for me to log in!
I tracked it down, found the line with the bug. Here's a diff, produced
by the command "diff -Naur courier-imap-1.7.3/ courier-imap-new/":

Please put this bugfix in. I'm not sure how many other problems this can
cause - the "}" is probably unusual to have in an IMAP atom, but I
assume it can show up elsewhere!
