Description

There are multiple issues in the way APPEND is handled in IMapClient.

1) According to RFC3501 [1] the date-time field in an APPEND command is enclosed in double quotes. The code currently uses { } which is incorrect

2) The APPEND command has the following arguments [2]:

Arguments: mailbox name
OPTIONAL flag parenthesized list
OPTIONAL date/time string
message literal

However, the existing methods don't support the message literal; there needs to be a method that supports the message literal. The existing methods should be deprecated as they serve no purpose.
