The curl code depends on USE_CURL_FOR_IMAP_SEND so even with use_curl == 1, it won't be an issue for people without curl (or old one).
I wasn't sure whether to drop the define or not and figure it might be worth keeping in case in change in the future for some reason.
I don't mind dropping it and hardcofing the default to 1

Also on a side note, I have a case where authentication works with --no-curl but fails withs --curl. Still trying to figure out why.
