I think it depends on the IMAP backend whether unicode passwords are accepted. The conversion to ISO-Latin was inserted because of some backend problems. For best support we maybe need the admin to specify which backend is used. > > My opinion is that in Roundcube login process we should convert password > to ASCII and in Password plugin we should make sure that user is using > only printable ASCII characters. What do you think? This only partially solves the problem. Many users already have a password to their IMAP account which can contain non-ascii chars. Therefore it's dangerous just to convert all incoming passwords to ascii. ~Thomas _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/dev/
