hi
i set up an hebrew label in gmail (imap) and wanted to list them using
synapse. the english labels are ok while the hebrew ones i get encoded in a
format im not sure i understood. for example i got the following for one of
my hebrew labels: '&BdEF0wXZBecF1A-1'. according to the rfc it means the
following:
By convention, international mailbox names in IMAP4rev1 are specified using
a modified version of the UTF-7 encoding described in [UTF-7]. Modified
UTF-7 may also be usable in servers that implement an earlier version of
this protocol.
In modified UTF-7, printable US-ASCII characters, except for "&", represent
themselves; that is, characters with octet values 0x20-0x25 and 0x27-0x7e.
The character "&" (0x26) is represented by the two-octet sequence "&-".
All other characters (octet values 0x00-0x1f and 0x7f-0xff) are represented
in modified BASE64, with a further modification from [UTF-7] that "," is
used instead of "/". Modified BASE64 MUST NOT be used to represent any
printing US-ASCII character which can
represent itself.
"&" is used to shift to modified BASE64 and "-" to shift back to US-ASCII.
There is no implicit shift from BASE64 to US-ASCII, and null shifts ("-&"
while in BASE64; note that "&-" while in US-ASCII means "&") are not
permitted. However, all names start in US-
ASCII, and MUST end in US-ASCII; that is, a name that ends with a non-ASCII
ISO-10646 character MUST end with a "-").
so this part: "&BdEF0wXZBecF1A" is in base64 format?
and this part: "-1" means it's the digit 1 in ascii (regular) which is
correct comparing to the label i set up.
i tried using the decode64base function but without luck. what am i
missing? does synapse has a way to convert those values into a readable
name?
thanks
