Where i can found a list with allowed character for a folder name?

These characters are about the mailbox name.
Imap clients must use a modified UTF-7 encoding for Folders name.
This allow you to use any characters in any language (if your client
is compliant on this part of imap spec).

Actually not *any* character. You can't have a '/' or a '!', for example. Those characters aren't encoded any differently with modified UTF-7. AFAICT you can use any character that's outside of US-ASCII, but only those from US-ASCII that are in GOODCHARS.
