That is a valid mailbox name in IMAP, and UW imapd will create a mailbox with that name. If Cyrus does not permit it, that is probably a restriction in Cyrus. A server is permitted to reject the creation of any mailbox name for any reason that it deems fit, including not liking single quotes. Since you asked the c-client mailing list, I assume that you are writing an IMAP client application using the c-client library and communicating to a Cyrus server. To make absolutely certain that my diagnosis is correct, you should try your program with a UW server. If you also have a problem with the UW server and that name, perhaps there is a bug in your mail_create() call. -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate.
