  Hello.

I read on upgrading page that one can use UTF8 mailbox names for
plugins.  As i understand i do not need to convert UTF8 names to mUTF-7
and can use raw UTF8 in plugins section, e.g.:
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
...
plugin {
	...
	# Autocreate \Spam folder
	autocreate = Спам
	autosubscribe = Спам
...

But what about sieve scripts and other configuration sections:
1. Do i need to convert UTF8 mailbox names in `namespace' section?
namespace inbox {
	...
  	mailbox &BCEEPwQwBDw- {
	    special_use = \Junk
	}

2. Do i need to convert UTF8 mailbox names in sieve scripts?
/etc/dovecot/dovecot_before.sieve
...
require ["reject","fileinto"];

# Put all spam into separete IMAP folder
if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" {
        fileinto "&BCEEPwQwBDw-";
}
