[issue1210] imaplib does not run under Python 3

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

Here is a patch for imaplib:
 - add encoding attribute to IMAP4 class (as ftplib and see also issue 
3727 for my poplib patch)
 - use makefile('r', encoding=self.encoding) instead of a binary file 
(mode='rb')
 - remove duplicate code in IMAP4_SSL

I choosed ISO-8859-1 as the default charset. I tested the library on 
my local IMAP4 server using IMAP4 and IMAP4_SSL classes. But the 
library needs more unit tests as done for poplib.
