The "\(" issue is an Outlook bug. It is the responsibility of the IMAP4
server to escape any element that is used as a token. For example the
envelope fetch uses paranthesis as a delimiter so any unescaped abtract
occurance of paranthesis would cause parsing problems in RFC 822/2060
complient clients.
It is the responsibility of the IMAP4 client to recognize the escape
sequence and format the headers accordingly.
See RFC822 for more info.
