[Dovecot] UTF-8 mailbox names in filesystem

[Timo Sirainen]

Currently mailbox names are stored in IMAP's modified-UTF-7 format in
filesystem. I was wondering about changing this in v2.0. The default
would still be to use mUTF-7 in filesystem, but just adding :UTF8 or
something to mail_location could enable UTF-8.

Any thoughts? Could this be dangerous somehow? UTF-8 enables a lot of
weird characters, perhaps no one really wants to see them on filesystem
since there's no way to type the characters? But for small systems this
probably isn't a problem.
