Quoting [email protected]:
Are you *sure* you need the full [email protected] to authenticate to
the Dovecot server? Other MUAs may be working simply because they are
stripping off the domain. You havent provided any verification that
this is the case.
Dovecot does need the full [email protected] address.
I didn't say this. I said the IMAP LOGIN command doesn't accept
non-ASCII characters. But the IMAP AUTHENTICATE command does (which
Horde/IMP supports).
Once I authenticate and login to horde (not imp) using the IDN (this
has always worked), I am able to login separately - in a second
login task - to imp - if I use the punycode (unacceptable to the
end-user, of course), so the problem is only that the IMAP login
command doesn't accept accented characters or all the utf-8
characters.
Then the issue is that you are not correctly setting the
authentication credentials for IMP. By default, if using horde auth,
IMP passes Horde's authentication credentials. If dovecot requires
the punycode representation of the username, then that is something
you need to configure (i.e. via preauthenticate hook).
SO, can this be changed, and are the horde team going to change this
so that it does accept all the utf-8 characters?
There's nothing for us to change. Nothing is broken is Horde.
Secondly, is there a workaround that you or anyone knows of? For
example, changing a file to use a different php function to escape
or validate/control a GET form input ? Do I have to use roundcube
or squirrelmail frontend at present so that IDN's don't have to be
entered in their punycode?
I am still confused why you think something is broken in Horde, when
you admittedly have configured Horde to send the wrong authentication
username to your IMAP backend?
We absolutely cannot assume that an IDN must be sent as punycode to
the IMAP server. As I have mentioned several times, the IMAP protocol
does not limit authentication credentials to ASCII-only. It is 100%
backend dependent on what it is expecting.
