Re: [Dovecot] Encoding dovecot keywords

Quoting Алексей Сундуков <public-mail@alekciy.ru>:

But I can't understand what encoding use dovecot for keywords? I set "тест" (number 5) keyword:

cat dovecot-keywords 0 &bcienqrbbeiepgqybdaetw-_&bdwenqrcbdoema- 1 test 2 $label1 3 $label2 4 $label3 5 &beienqq6beeeqg-

but "&beienqq6beeeqg-" do not convert to "тест". Why?

Because only mailboxes are encoded in Modified UTF-7. There is no
equivalent encoding for keywords. Keywords are *not* meant to be
directly viewable by an end-user. Converting between a keyword and
the representation displayed to the user is the job of the MUA.
