trying to fetch mails from an IMAP Server fails whenever the password contains a quotation mark (at least when it is at the end of the password).

this is what messageserver says when trying to fetch mails:

IMAP :  "6" RECV: a004 BAD Missing '"'

workaround: changing the password so that it doesn't contain a ".

Well, tbh, it's kinda dumb to use "s in passwords as they might mess code up, but on the other hand, it would still be good to be able to use it anyways.

@Bulder ugh? That's like giving an excuse to not sanitizing user's input before entering them to SQL-database.
