I see... so what's the best / most standards compliant way of enabling all possible folder names now? Using that plugin?
I mean I do not quite understand what happens when I use the plugin... so as far as I understood you know IMAP itself already has an encoding way... i.e. the client already sends mUTF-7 encoded foldernames to dovecot, and dovecot simply passes this through and creates these as file names, right? When I use the list encode plugin... will it then \NN encode the (possibly already mUTF-7 encoded) string... to also allow things like "." and "/"? So the client will never see any \NN encoding as this is done purely dovecot internally? Thanks, Chris.
