Hi!

I upgraded Courier IMAP from v. 4.18.2 to 5.0.2,  with maildirmake --checkutf8 <maildir> foreach users' maildir OK, then maildirmake --convutf8 ... OK, while mail services (postfix, courier-imap-ssl, courier-imap, courier-pop3-ssl, courier-pop3) where stopped. Now I  get multiple claims from our pop3 clients that they fail to retrieve messages, e.g. Mozilla Thunderbird shows the following:

Command RETR failed. Error getting message. Mail server «pop.bsuir.by» replied /(That was my translation from Russian of the Thunderbird message, - E.S.)/: Cannot open message 1 /(or another number, - E.S.)/ because it is a Unicode message and your E-mail reader did not enable Unicode support. Please use an E-mail reader that supports POP3 with UTF-8 (see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6856.html)

One can download  the maildir containing only one message that leads to the error, from https://yadi.sk/d/oQEZZ_0LqPsFxQ . I believe there is nothing wrong with the message, and I am sure there is nothing wrong with Thunderbird (latest version BTW), for if I send the message into trash and then bring it back to inbox, by means of an imap client, the pop3 client retrieves the message ok.

I "repaired" the inbox  of a user that above mentioned way: by means of an imap client (roundcube webmail) deleted all his mails from inbox, then brought them back to inbox, but in a couple of days the user gets another message that disables again his pop3 client because of "Command RETR failed" error.

Another bad thing that occured while corier-imap upgrade 4.18.2 -> 5.0.2: All (!) our pop3 clients retrieved the copies of messages that were at the server (many of them failed to retrieve all their messages, because of the above mentioned "Command RETR failed" error).

We use Courier-imap 5.0.2, Courier-unicode 2.1, maildrop 3.0.0, Courier-authlib 0.69.0 at openSUSE Linux 15.0.
