Sift through the grammar in RFC 3501.

Anything not in GOODCHARS in mboxname.c.

If the two lists above don't match (other than '.'), I don't know.

I was think that it was mutf-7 , but it seems that cyrus

refuse de create a


user.abc.foo#bar mailbox name !!!

should I escape something ?

is there invalid char for Cyrus ?

Yeah, the mailbox names are limited to characters in the GOODCHARS define
in mboxname.c (plus & for mUTF-7 encoding).


Offhand I can't come up with a good reason for # to be disallowed other
