When webmail is enabled on a brand new mailbox, but not yet configured, you can logon to the modoboa admin but can not logout.

It Seems like webmail is trying to connect to an IMAP server. But it fails as it is not yet configured. See traces beelow.

fixed #93
On [[UserLogout]], the webmail extension tries to get an IMAPconnector object (which tries to connect with an IMAP server). When the configuration is invalid, this operation fails.
Catching exceptions on strategic places has solved the problems.
