I'm considering Dovecot for an IMAP server. Can I name the IMAP folders in Hebrew (utf-8) with Dovecot? Any known gotchas? Thanks in advance.
Yes and no. Unicode folder names can be represented, but they have to be encoded in modified UTF-7, as specified in RFC 2060 ยง 5.1.3 (except that the hierarchy separator is always "." on disk), both on the wire and on disk.

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.
