Wrong format in to_imap_date method

[nimdraugsael]

Yesterday I started getting Net::IMAP::BadResponseError: Could not parse command when used before and after params for inbox.

Date format in IMAP spec
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501 page 83

date-month      = "Jan" / "Feb" / "Mar" / "Apr" / "May" / "Jun" /
                  "Jul" / "Aug" / "Sep" / "Oct" / "Nov" / "Dec"

So, it should be

class Object
  def to_imap_date
    Date.parse(to_s).strftime("%d-%b-%Y")
  end
end

in https://github.com/dcparker/ruby-gmail/blob/master/lib/gmail/mailbox.rb#L5

I have a script that uses ruby-gmail that runs every month. Last month (Sept 2016) it worked, this month (Oct 2016), it spit out:

$HOME/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p247/lib/ruby/2.0.0/net/imap.rb:1158:in `get_tagged_response': 
    Could not parse command (Net::IMAP::BadResponseError)
        from $HOME/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p247/lib/ruby/2.0.0/net/imap.rb:1210:in 
            `block in send_command'

My script uses the before and after params to gmail.inbox.emails().each.

I applied the one character patch from @nimdraugsael and now the script works again!
