Package: courier-imap
Version: 4.4.0-2
I had setup imapfilter to place some mails in a folder called
'Trash.Slettede domæner' (my .imapfilter/config.lua file is stored as
iso8859-1). It seemed to work... until I needed to see those mails,
evolution insisted that there were no mails from since I switched from
using evolutions filtering to using imapfilter.
I logged into the imapserver and did a `ls -la` on the maildir, and the
problem was obvious:
drwx------ 6 44345 44460 126 Feb 23 12:05 .Trash.Slettede dom&AOY-ner
drwx------ 6 44345 44460 126 Mar 21 14:46 .Trash.Slettede domæner
I.e. courier has created a folder with an invalid name (the second).
I don't know whether the IMAP protocol states that the client should
encode folder names as IMAPUTF7, but in that case courier should have
given an error back to imapfilter, when it first tried to create it. If
the IMAP protocol doesn't give the client that responsibility, courier
should have detected the iso8859-1 character and encoded it properly.

Thank you for your quick response. I am going to close this bug under the
assumption that it has been fixed upstream in the intervening years. Anyone
should feel free to reopen it if they are still experiencing this issue.
