Sylpheed expected "... RFC822.HEADER {253}" while Freenet IMAP server
returned "RFC822.HEADER{253}" (note the space before { }).

RFC 2060 defines the server response as:

  "RFC822" [".HEADER" / ".TEXT"] SPACE nstring 

So it seems that Freenet IMAP server violates the RFC :)

I'll modify the response parser to allow such responses, anyway.
