Hi, the IMAP Protocoll uses a special encoding based on UTF-7 to encode non-ASCII charackters. & is used to mark the beginning of such an encoding. & itself is encoded as &- . There are also other ASCII charackters which are not allowed. The allowed charackters are defiend in mboxname.c "#define GOODCHARS ..." Keep in mind that some charakters have a speacial meaning befor you add them to GOODCHARS Quoting Toschi Pietro <Pietro.Toschi@xxxxxxxxxx>:
Hello everybody Apparently, cyrus-imapd does not support mailboxes with some letters inside the name. "&" is one of that. I have some mailboxes containing that symbol to be migrated from another server (SUN) but I always get an error. Looking at the IMAP RFC it seems very complex to me to understand what characters are supported and how by the protocol. I wander if there is a way to make cyrus accept such mailboxes, for example using some sort of escape sequences, encoding rules or so. Do someone have a solution to this annoying problem? Bye Pietro
