Well, I don't know about decent..but I have at least some functionality
working now. The attached patch is full of debugging code and needs
more testing, so this is just for comment unless you are feeling
very brave.

I am afraid I abused the pingpong logic quite a bit. There is probably
a cleaner way, but not sure what that would be.

This patch is against a recent upstream pull..it includes all of my
previous curl imap patches.

Some things that should work with this patch:

* Enable header CURLOPT and mail headers will be requested and
   saved to the read callback.

* Select inbox and download two email messages with specified IDs:
    imap://tester:passwd_at_mail.candelatech.com/INBOX/;uid=2,1

   NOTE: All headers come first, then body...this needs more work.

* Get one message from INBOX:
   imap://tester:passwd_at_mail.candelatech.com/INBOX/;uid=2

* Get a listing of all folders:
   imap://tester:afk987_at_mail.candelatech.com/
   imap://tester:afk987_at_mail.candelatech.com

Still working on getting search working properly.

Thanks,
Ben
