Content
imap consideres flags to be atoms, and atoms should not be quoted. Attempting to use a quoted flag with e.g. STORE +FLAGS will cause some servers, like dovecot, to return an error. However, imaplib apparently auto-quotes all parameters that contain a backslash. This applies to default flags such as \Deleted or \Seen. This results in an error from some IMAP servers. The reason seems to be that _checkquote method wants to quote anything that matches the _mustquote pattern, and that pattern matches strings containing backslashes.
