PHP Bug Type:     IMAP related
Bug description:  php.net/imap doesn't support CAPABILITY, NAMESPACE etc., the c-client lib
does.

Description:
------------
The current imap modules fails to wrap methods to query for the server
capabilities and the server namespace. This is crucial for some servers
like courier-imap with virtual shared folders, since those end up in a
different namespace and cannot be found without support for both
CAPABILITY and NAMESPACE imap support.

Reproduce code:
---------------
IMAP source transcript to show the "right way" that php should offer as
well:


Transcript on my server:

a001 capability
* CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT
THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION
a001 OK CAPABILITY completed

-> My server supports "namespace", which is exactly what I want/need to
use

a002 namespace
* NAMESPACE (("INBOX." ".")) NIL (("#shared."
".")("shared." "."))
a002 OK NAMESPACE completed.

-> As you can see the server supports both "shared." and "#shared" for
shared folder namespaces. The latter is the one I need/use.

a003 list "" *
* LIST (\Marked \HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX"
a003 OK LIST completed

-> A wildcard list of everything, without giving any namespace. This
results in only one response: My INBOX.

a004 list "" #shared.*
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#shared.support@mydomain de"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#shared.sql-bugs@mydomain de"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#shared.treffen@mydomain de"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#shared.presse@anotherdomain de"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "#shared.info@anotherdomain de"
a004 OK LIST completed

-> The "right way" (tm) to list the shared namespaces.

Expected result:
----------------
Since both the RFC document php.net/imap links to and the underlying
c-client library itself support these operations, I'd expect to have any
kind of support for that methods in php as well.

Actual result:
--------------
No shared folders from php. No useable mail client in php.
