    • There were confusion, about the authority_t and the ticket_t. · 75526aa3 
      	An authority_t is an object that implementes an authentication
	mechanism i.e. APOP, SASL, User/Passwd.  To retrieve or get
	information from the client/user, authority_t will use the
	ticket_t, it will call ticket_pop ().  For example, on an
	authority_t object that implements the user/passwd mechanism
	ticket_pop () will be call two times once for the user and
	the other for the passwd, by the authority_t object.

	So far so good, but the problem here was we had
	mailbox_{g,s}et_ticket(), folder_{g,s}et_ticket() and
	mailbox_{g,s}et_authority() and folder_{g,s}_authority().
	For example for a ticket , depending on when xx_set_ticket ()
	was done, a ticket_t could have been set on the mailbox_t structure
	or on the folder_t structure.  This was leading to use the wrong one,
	folder->ticket or mailbox->ticket.  Same problem occurs for
	authority_t.  To clear this up, ticket_t can only be set on the
	authority_t and autority_t can only be on a folder.  Having only one
	way to get at the authority or at the ticket fix the race conditions:
	{
	   // No error checking is done.
	   mailbox_t mbox;
	   folder_t folder;
	   authority_t auth;
	   ticket_t ticket; ..
	   ..
	   // Setting the ticket
	   mailbox_create (&mbox, where);
	   mailbox_get_folder (mbox, &folder);
	   folder_get_authority (folder, &auth)
	   authority_set_ticket (auth, ticket);
	   ....
	}

	* include/mailutils/mailbox.h: Remove mailbox_{g,s}et_ticket().
	mailbox_{gs}et_authority ().
	* include/mailutils/folder.h: Remove folder_{gs}et_authority().
	* mailbox/mailbox.c (mailbox_get_folder): New function.
	(mailbox_get_ticket): Removed.
	(mailbox_set_ticket): Removed.
	(mailbox_set_authority): Removed.
	(mailbox_get_authority): Removed.
	* mailbox/folder.c (folder_get_ticket): Removed.
	(folder_set_ticket): Removed.
	(folder_destroy): Removed destruction of ticket.
	* mailbox/folder_imap.c (folder_imap_get_authority): New function.
	(_folder_imap_init): Create authority.
	* mailbox/folder_pop.c (folder_pop_get_authority): New function.
	(folder_pop_open): New function.
	(folder_pop_close): New function.
	(_folder_pop_init): Create authority.
	* mailbox/mbx_imap.c (_mailbox_imap_init): Remove the creation
	of authority here, moved to _folder_imap_init().
	* mailbox/mbx_pop.c (_mailbox_pop_init): Remove the creation
	of authority here, moved to _folder_imap_init().
