Many young imap clients don't properly handle non-ascii folder names, nor the ampersand character which is the special character used to start encoding a non-ascii name. I've seen this problem myself, with other newly-written webmail systems. Pine and Mozilla's imap client each handle folder names correctly -- you can use them as reference clients, to see what ought to happen for particular folder names. RFC 3501, section 5.1.3 lists the modified UTF-7 encoding scheme that the javamail client ought to understand, and apparently does not understand. If you bring up the point with the developers, perhaps they can fix the bug in javamail's handling of encoded folder names. -- Jacob Morzinski [EMAIL PROTECTED]
