Specifically, it is about what we might better term mailbox *folders*...that is, not what you would normally think of as the 'mailbox name', which is usually understood to be the thing before the @ in the email address (and can't contain non-ASCII yet...we need RFC 6855 support for that, and I'm not sure*anybody* has that yet).
There are still lots of idiotic web sites that assume everything in front of the @ must be a letter, digit, dot, or hyphen, and even some that only permit one dot after the @... even though for 30 years or so, the RFCs have permitted a nice variety of other special characters, although not all of them.
