I have a question regardin encoding of mailbox names. rfc3501 contains some discussion about UTF-7 encoding of mailbox names but the formal syntax says:
mailbox = "INBOX" / astring
; INBOX is case-insensitive. All case variants of
; INBOX (e.g., "iNbOx") MUST be interpreted as INBOX
; not as an astring. An astring which consists of
; the case-insensitive sequence "I" "N" "B" "O" "X"
; is considered to be INBOX and not an astring.
; Refer to section 5.1 for further
; semantic details of mailbox names.
astring = 1*ASTRING-CHAR / string
string = quoted / literal
which suggests that sending mailbox names containing 8-bit characters is perfectly legal. OTOH, cyrus server answers to following sequence:
C: . Create {24+}
INBOX.l�ng �k�nd namn
S: . NO Invalid mailbox nameI know it has the right to answer so, but does it The-Right-Thing?
