Unfortunately I am using imapsync to migrate messages between already created top-level mailboxex, but it doesn't seem to take care of those details for me and failed to create every subfolder with special character until I applied the Kolab patch that modified GOODCHAR macro in mailboxes.c. Apparently, the Kolab patch doesn't apply to top level mailboxes, INBOX. And creating user/this&that@xxxxxxxxxxxxx still fails with cyradm or other applications. pietro -----Messaggio originale----- Da: Jorey Bump [mailto:list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Inviato: martedì 5 febbraio 2008 14.10 A: Toschi Pietro Cc: info-cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Oggetto: Re: Error creating mailboxex with an "&" inside Toschi Pietro wrote, at 02/05/2008 06:57 AM: > Apparently, cyrus-imapd does not support mailboxes with some letters > inside the name.

In Thunderbird, I can create a new folder named: this&that This results in a directory on the server named: this&-that What tool are you using to migrate your mailboxes? Hopefully, something like imapsync will take care of these details for you. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
