Using UTF8 in mailbox names is a rather serious mistake. I'd hate it if Debian distributed a Dovecot version for next several years with known broken IMAP behavior. It visibly breaks some IMAP clients and causes silent problems with others. The patches to fix these are pretty small: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/a698fccd37c3 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/880af3c78df9 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/90270c054e1f The first one (STATUS) being the most important, the second two much less so. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
