Bigloo Mail procedure: imap-login socket user password

Log a user into an imap server. The socket must have been created first. The argument user is a string and denotes the user name.

If the operation fails the function raises a &imap-error exception.

Example:

(define mbox (imap-login (make-client-socket "imap.inria.fr" 993 :timeout 200000) "serrano" "XXX"))

(print (mailbox-folders mbox))
