Thanks Magnus. I'm not sure that utf-7 supports Hebrew, as I've never
heard of it. I just read http://rfc.net/rfc2060.html however it is
very difficult for me to understand any of it. What must I do to make
"yes and no" be only "yes"? :)

Also, I've seen that some MUAs (such as Thunderbird) use the slash
instead of the dot  as the seperator. Will this be a problem in
Dovecot if I decide to try out Thunderbird?

Thanks in advance.
