Hello,
i use dovecot 2.2.18 and do some tests with an utf8 mysqlbackend.
I use MySQL to authenticate Users and for retrieving some individual
settings like autocreating folders etc. by userdb-settings in user-query.
Yet no problems with standard language. Now i try to provide
userdb-settings in exotic languages.
My MySQL table uses utf8 charset. I store some data in my userdb-column.
Here an polish example: "namespace/inbox/mailbox=example
namespace/inbox/mailbox/example/name=postępować
namespace/inbox/mailbox/example/auto=subscribe"
Result is a new folder in dovecot, but in client every special char ę
and ć is replaced with a "?"
I seems that at some point a conversion to latin1 is performed which
ruins the utf8 chars.
Creating a folder postępować by imap-client is no problem.
Hmm, what should i do now? I dont know how to influence dovecot to
process retrieved utf8 data furthermore as utf8.
Which charset is using dovecot when connecting to mysqldb and how to
take influence?
Thanks,
Hajo
