Jesús Cea Avión added the comment: First step is to provide mUTF-7 in Python 3.5. Then we can try to update imaplib. I am specially worried about the points cfraire raises in http://bugs.python.org/issue5305#msg151859. Lets see. -- dependencies: +IMAP4 UTF-7 support

New submission from James Henstridge ja...@jamesh.id.au: The IMAP4rev1 specification allows for non-ASCII mailbox names using a modified UTF-7 encoding (section 5.1.3 of RFC 2060 or 3501). However, the imaplib routines taking a mailbox name just pass the string straight through without any
