[PATCH] sqlResources.xml - incorrect sizes

["Noel J. Bergman" <no...@devtech.com>]

I could not find any information for IMAP in the various IMAP RFCs.

Attached is the patch.  The works of them was that the entire field for a
list subscriber was limited to 50 characters.

no vote necessary IMHO, incresing sizes won't break existing implementations
like reducing them would.
