  Thanks for that. I will monitor the bug report.

  I tested using testsaslauthd and single quotes, it worked, but using  
RIMAP backend it still doesn't work. So I guess these were two  
different problems: RIMAP backend problem and testsaslauthd usage  
problem (single quotes vs double quotes).

  Thanks
