  Well, it works here :)

  Could you provide the real source for that mails? Decoded headers
don't tell much about how the header is really encoded. Feel free to
replace any sensitive information with xxx or so :)

  If the email is wrongly encoded I don't see how can Sylpheed Claws
(or for the case any other non-conscious software) correctly decode it.

  You can keep accented folder names with -15 encoding, you only have
to rename then (a small recursive script with iconv can help you to do
the transition).
