Description:
------------
If mail password contents '/' character parse_url() crushes and we can't login to mail server via Mail_IMAPv2->connect()

Solution: to use urlencode() for password in connection string (eg., 'imap://user:'.urlencode('pass/').'@localhost:143/INBOX';) and urldecode inside connect() method as for user name.

Test script:
---------------
$connection ='imap://user:pass/@localhost:143/INBOX';

$msg =& new Mail_IMAPv2();
// Open up a mail connection
if( !$msg->connect( $connection ) ){
echo $msg->alerts();
echo $msg->errors();
echo "<span style='font-weight: bold;'>Error:</span> Unable to build a connection.";
}

Expected result:
----------------
PHP warnigs about using of parse_url()

Actual result:
--------------
We should not see these warnings and normaly connect to mail server
