No limit, but rfc 2683 section 3.2.1 (imap4 implementation
recommendations):

"For its part, a server should allow for a command line of at least
 8000 octets. This provides plenty of leeway for accepting reasonable
 length commands from clients.  The server should send a BAD response
 to a command that does not end within the server's maximum accepted
 command length."
