Subscription file handling for shared mailboxes

Hi,

I recently had to introduce shared mailboxes on IMAP accounts. While other MUAs seem to be fine with the subscriptions file entry, Mutt (1.9.2) seems to handle special characters differently:

subscriptions:
:shared/***@domain.tld/INBOX

It appears Mutt struggles with the @ sign in the subscription file and cuts off the TLD in this light, trying to login as a new user:

Jan 4 09:20:41 edi dovecot: auth: Error: passwd-file(***@domain):

Regards
Thomas

I think I found the culprit, dropping '.' from the defaults:

set imap_delim_chars = "/"

Will need to monitor if this fully solves the issue:
