Ah yes, passwords with semi colons will cause issues just like user names
with colons in them do - as the semi colon is used as a separator in the
user string to indicate login options.

The reason you were seeing a difference Linux and Windows is that the Linux
build was v7.30.0 (which doesn't support login options) and the Windows
build was v7.33.0 (which does).

With the latest code base I get a " curl: (3) URL using bad/illegal format
or missing URL" error which is what I would have expected as the login
option are then considered invalid - However, it seems that the SSL connect
bug that I fixed recently is more wide spread and LOGOUT would be sent even
if imap_connect() returned failure before the protocol layer was considered
established which it doesn't now.

Kind Regards

Steve
