           Summary: Password with spaces and (GMail's?) IMAP don't work
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 2.0.89
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: riccardo at kde.org


Version:           2.0.89 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

I have a password with spaces in GMail, this has always used to work, with any
client I tried, including kmail 1.
With the new backend, when I try to log in, the server answers "too many
arguments".
I don't know if it's a GMail-only thing, or happens with every IMAP

The combination to trigger this seems to be:
  - SSL+Clear text auth
  - IMAP
  - Password with spaces

Googling a bit it seems like KMail should enclse the password in quotes, so
that the server doesn't see it as a list of arguments.

This effectively prevents me from getting my emails.

Reproducible: Didn't try
