New submission from Daniel Kinzler <dan...@brightbyte.de>: imap consideres flags to be atoms, and atoms should not be quoted. Attempting to use a quoted flag with e.g. STORE +FLAGS will cause some servers, like dovecot, to return an error.
However, imaplib apparently auto-quotes all parameters that contain a backslash. This applies to default flags such as \Deleted or \Seen. This results in an error from some IMAP servers. The reason seems to be that _checkquote method wants to quote anything that matches the _mustquote pattern, and that pattern matches strings containing backslashes. ---------- components: Extension Modules messages: 161257 nosy: brightbyte priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: imaplib erronously quotes atoms such as flags type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14869> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
