Hi,i think you have another problem, & has to be encoded in imap as &- . The encoding is done by the mailclient. But on the other hand cyrus expacts the user
to have a folder under user that matches the username used for authentication. IMHO using & in username is a bad idea as the authenticationlayer does not know the special meaning of & and that it has to be escaped as &- Quoting Toschi Pietro <Pietro.Toschi@xxxxxxxxxx>:
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. "&" 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?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
