Richard, thanks for the patch.

I have a couple of problems with the patch.  
 * The patch is against 2.2, not HEAD.  
    In this case it's easy to see where it should go, 
    but that isn't always the case.
 * This patch contains tabs, all python code 
    in the standard library should contain only spaces.
 * In the code that was added, name is not used.  
   Either name should be removed, or it should be 
   passed to _simple_command().  
 * There is also no documentation (Doc/lib/libimap.tex).

I don't know if this patch is worthwhile, since I know
nothing about imap.  Someone else will have to determine if
this proxyauth is generally applicable and should be
included.  However, are there any security issues associated
with using proxyauth?
