Sylpheed immediately tries to LOGOUT if the response to AUTHENTICATE
command is wrong. Sylpheed should handle it more gracefully.

According to RFC 4959, "+" should be followed by " ", but I'm not sure
it is MUST or not.

            ... client connects to server and negotiates a TLS
           protection layer ...
        C: C01 CAPABILITY
        S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR AUTH=PLAIN
        S: C01 OK Completed
        C: A01 AUTHENTICATE PLAIN
            (note that there is a space following the "+" in the
           following line)
        S: +
        C: dGVzdAB0ZXN0AHRlc3Q=
        S: A01 OK Success (tls protection)
