Hi,

Quoting Paul van der Vlis via Info-cyrus <info-cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

Hello,

I am syncing many mailboxes from one IMAP server to another. Now I get
sometimes errors on mailbox names. I found out that Cyrus does not
accept brackets in a mailbox name. Is there documentation about what
characters are accepted in mailbox names??

The allowed ASCII-Chars are defined in the macro GOODCHARS in
imap/mboxname.c
(https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/blob/master/imap/mboxname.c#L1495).

non-ASCII-Chars are handled by RFC 3501 5.1.3.

This subject has been discussed a few years ago on this list, and GOODCHARS
has been changed between cyrus versions.

2.2:    #define GOODCHARS "
+,-.0123456789:=@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz~"
2.3:    #define GOODCHARS "
#$'+,-.0123456789:=@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz~"
Master: #define GOODCHARS "
#$'()*+,-.0123456789:=?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[]^_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz~"

Thanks for your answer!

I am wondering about the dot. So far I know I cannot use it in a mailbox
name, but it is in the list.


I suspect that your cyrus is configured to use the . as hierarchy seperator.
see "unixhierarchysep:" in imapd.conf manpage for details.

And what's "master" exactly? So far I see, I cannot use e.g. brackets in
a mailbox name.

Master is the name of the main development branch in git. A new branch for
cyrus imapd 3.0 will be forked from the master branch with the release of
the new version.
