I found out I can pass the authenticate command as a
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST. Except it breaks when cURL needs to reconnect,
because then it doesn't reauthenticate properly.

I think we need something like a CURLOPT_IMAP_IDENTITY to allow cURL
handling the authentication natively instead of as a custom command?
