Christian Heimes added the comment:

RFC 3501 and 2060 (IMAP 4rev1) don't specify a line length


RFC 2683 says:

  A client should limit the length of the command lines it
  generates to approximately 1000 octets.

  For its part, a server should allow for a command line of at
  least 8000 octets.

Some config files and code have values between 2k and 64k, usually around 8k to 
10k, e.g.

 UW and Panda IMAP have a limit of 10,000 octets which is far
 more than what anything is ever likely to use.
