Hi, your problem lies in "mboxname_policycheck" in mboxname.c there it is checked if the & is followed by a valide utf7 encoded charackter.I think that if you breack this check it will breake all non-ascii charackters.
Quoting Toschi Pietro <Pietro.Toschi@xxxxxxxxxx>:
Alain,mailboxes.c specifies, in GOODCHARS macro, the list of allowed characters for creating subfolders. Do you know where it is the list of characters admitted when creating a mailbox?Thanx Pietro -----Messaggio originale----- Da: Alain Spineux [mailto:aspineux@xxxxxxxxx] Inviato: martedì 5 febbraio 2008 17.43 A: Toschi Pietro Cc: info-cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Oggetto: Re: R: R: Error creating mailboxex with an "&" inside On Feb 5, 2008 5:22 PM, Toschi Pietro <Pietro.Toschi@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Test result: failed.Even if testsaslauthd -u test\&-test@xxxxxxxxxx -p <password> results in an 0: OK "Success." response, and the mailbox really exists on IMAP server, I can't successfully login using IMAP clients to the IMAP server.Maybe some issues related to the way that cyrus and sasl communicateThe restriction is done in cyrus itself! Their is 2 different list of allowed characters! For example, cyradm allow you to create some root mailbox (like user/test&test@xxxxxxxxxx) but dont allow you to manage it !

I'll have a complete test in a short using Thunderbird and let you know my results.See you later.

The encoding is done by the mailclient. But on the other hand cyrus expacts the userto 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.
