This is quite offtopic here and an old message, but I though sharing this. People who want to discuss this further should take this to the appropriate mailing list. Horde/IMP gets it right with the stable version also. What can go wrong is PHP. The conversion of mailbox names in IMP is handled at IMP::utf7Encode() (located at lib/IMP.php). It first tries to use iconv and if that isn't available, mbstring, and as a last resort, PHP's imap_utf7_encode(). I don't know if PHP has been fixed yet, but imap_utf7_encode() didn't work right here (with PHP versions like 4.3.4 and earlier). I happened to notice this while I was doing a migration from UW-IMAP to Cyrus. UW-IMAP didn't really care about mailbox names and since imap_utf7_encode() and imap_utf7_decode() still worked consistently as a pair (it would decode right the wrongly encoded string), this went without a notice when using Horde/IMP (and most of our users use webmail, I don't know if there were any problems with users using the webmail and some other mail client). Transferring these mailboxes to Cyrus didn't work back then, so I wrote a little PHP script to convert all mailboxes to correct encoding before that. As a side note, iconv conversion didn't work here, but mbstring did it fine. -Tero -- Tero Matinlassi --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
