Fixes #8577

When we process mail messages in async manner, it is possible that we end up in a race condition situation where the next idle cycle closes the folder.

It is possible to reopen the folder, but feels better to block the current idle cycle until we are done with the message and therefore keep folder opened.

  • Deprecate ImapIdleChannelAdapter.sendingTaskExecutor in favor of an ExecutorChannel as an output for this channel adapter or similar async hand-off downstream.
  • Make a default one as a SyncTaskExecutor to make a sense of this deprecation
