Hi,
I posted this
question a few weeks ago but never got any answers...
:(
The Cyrus server does not support quotes in mailbox
names. Is there any good reason for that? Can I just add a
quote to GOODCHARS in mboxname.c or will this cause all sorts of
problems?
I tried this simple modification in mboxname.c (the
only difference is the single quote) :
458c458
< #define GOODCHARS " +,-.'0123456789:=@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz~"
---
> #define GOODCHARS " +,-.0123456789:=@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz~"
< #define GOODCHARS " +,-.'0123456789:=@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz~"
---
> #define GOODCHARS " +,-.0123456789:=@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz~"
And everything seems
to be working fine (plus I can create folders with single quotes in their
name). However, there might be a good reason why some characters are not
legal and my modification in mboxname.c might have some repercussions I don't
know about.
Can anybody tell me
if they made a similar modification or tell me that they know this is not a good
idea?
I want to enable
quotes in a mailbox name because our users should be able to use Bynari's
Insight Connector with the french version of Outlook. In the french
version of Outlook, the "Outbox" folder is named "Boîte d'envoi" (it can't be
renamed) and I currently get an error each time I try to synchronise my local
folders with the IMAP server (something like "can't create Boîte d'envoi on the
server").
Thanks.
