Mahogany doesn't accept '/' in User name

Mahogany does not handle forward slashes in the User name entered in the
Access property page. c-client uses / as a special character in its network
mailbox name, so returns an error if it is in the user name. This is
unfortunate since under RFC2822 / is permitted in the local part of an
address specification. For me it means I cannot user the Norton Antivirus
pop3 proxy with Mahogany to sniff out viruses in incoming messages. I
believe the fix is simple if the network mailbox name has no special
meaning outside of c-client: change network names to use backslashes
instead of forward slashes as separators. Backslashes have special meaning
under RFC2822 so can only appear in a quoted local part, something c-client
handles (Quoting the user name did not work for me, however.).
