Hi there Timo, first of all thank you for taking your time for support!
Forget about mUTF-7 with Dovecot. It's an IMAP-protocol relic, and Dovecot is trying to get rid of it in as many places as possible. Although by default the filesystem users mUTF-7, but that can also be changed with a setting.
Thanks for clarifying this.
I suspect your shell is breaking the 8bit chars into invalid UTF-8. I just tried and it works fine with me.
Sorry, we got confusion here... apparently my (lousy) freemail provider which I use to post on this mailinglist doesn't send some special characters etc. unaltered exactly as I typed - so I made a console screenshot of the doveadm rename problem to make things clear. Please have a look here, it will reveal the doveadm rename problem (and that my shell is working fine): http://i.imgur.com/08wKji4.png
To get things worse, when renaming the mailfolder in Thunderbird to "geschäftliches" it gets correctly written in the filesystem as "gesch&AOQ-ftliches"- but afterwards it's NOT found anymore in the dovecot index, e.g. when trying doveadm force-resync -u user it is not listed anymore (untilback-renaming in fs to the name it was indexed before).
Folders aren't indexed by default (mailbox_list_index=no) and force-resync doesn't affect them. Are you saying "doveadm mailbox list -u user" doesn't show some folder? I'm not aware of any bugs related to this.
No, the "doveadm mailbox list -u user" works just fine.
BUT - I'm still wondering about the resync issue - As I understand the "doveadm force-resync -u user *" command rebuilds the index for the MAILS within the mailfolders? If so, how can the resync be done if the mailfolder itself is not found by doveadm anymore?
I'd need to get some more specifics. Show show exists in filesystems and what commands don't produce expected results (and what they produce instead).
For clearing up my point, I made another console screenshot with red markings to point out the problem (bug). Please have another look here: http://i.imgur.com/icPfys9.png
Thanks for your support, Megodin
