[jira] [Commented] (IMAP-330) Convert mailboxnames to UTF-8 before
pass them to the Mailbox impl

--------------------------------------
In fact it doesn't work well - try to create folder 'A&B' in Outlook - it will pass name 'A&-B' in CREATE command

> IMAP use a modified UTF-7 to handle mailboxnames. At the moment we just use the mailboxname as passed by the imap client to do any mailbox action. This works but can be quite confusing if someone tries to lookup a mailbox via the mailbox api and just pass the "real name" to it.
> It would be better to convert from UTF-7 to UTF-8 before pass it to the mailbox impl.
> See http://fetchmail.berlios.de/Mailbox-Names-UTF7.html for some useful info
