--------------------------------------
This is regarding "This works but can be quite confusing" - in fact if you have
some special characters in folder name it don't :)
> Convert mailboxnames to UTF-8 before pass them to the Mailbox impl

> Project: JAMES Imap
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.2.1

>
> IMAP use a modified UTF-7 to handle mailboxnames. At the moment we just use
> the mailboxname as passed by the imap client to do any mailbox action. This
> works but can be quite confusing if someone tries to lookup a mailbox via the
> mailbox api and just pass the "real name" to it.
> It would be better to convert from UTF-7 to UTF-8 before pass it to the
> mailbox impl.
