test case to reproduce

this is a test case to reproduce, you will need a cyrus or exchange or dovecot
imap server on localhost and a user dummy with password password. Start the
program and click on the button. With strace you can see that kio_imap4 stalls
on a select operation.

The relevant thing about Attachment #22415 [details] is that if you change the URL from "imap://dummy:password@localhost:143/;SECTION%3DHEADER%20Subject%20%22E%22" to
"imap://dummy:password@localhost:143/inbox;SECTION%3DHEADER%20Subject%20%22E%22"

it works perfectly. And otherwise, the kioslave stalls and prevents other folders from being searched and mails from being displayed.

debugging output of non-blocking program

I used https://svn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdesdk/scripts/add_trace to
change all .cpp files in the imap kioslave, recompiled and used kdebugdialog
--fullmode to put all imap4 related debugging output into a file. Here it is,
it is from a non-blocking run (so, searching in /inbox).

Reassigning the bugs of the SMTP, IMAP and POP ioslaves to kdepim-bugs.

kio_imap4 doesn't exist anymore.
