              Imapsync issues with passwords on Unix.
=======================================================================


=======================================================================
Q. On Unix, some passwords contain some *(),;& characters. Login fails.

R. Use double-quotes within single-quotes in order to enclose the 
   password    within double-quotes in the imap LOGIN command:

    imapsync ... --password1 '"passw*(),;&rd"'
