[Dovecot] Accessing a strange mailbox

I have a user who has a mailbox called:

A----->B

It seemed to work in courier fine, they managed to create it, and there
are mails in it. However, dovecot is not letting the user access it, the
IMAP server gives an error. I tried to rename it but I would also get an
error:

# doveadm mailbox rename A-----\>B AtoB
doveadm(root): Error: Can't rename mailbox A----->B to AtoB: Mailbox doesn't exist: A----->B
# doveadm mailbox rename A----->B AtoB
doveadm(root): Error: Can't rename mailbox A----- to AtoB: Mailbox doesn't exist: A-----
# doveadm mailbox rename 'A----->B' AtoB
doveadm(root): Error: Can't rename mailbox A----->B to AtoB: Mailbox doesn't exist: A----->B
# doveadm mailbox rename "A----->B" AtoB
doveadm(root): Error: Can't rename mailbox A----->B to AtoB: Mailbox doesn't exist: A----->B
# 

How can I deal with this mailbox (using mdbox here)?

Thanks!
