Hello there,

I'm pretty sure I found a bug in latest Dovecot 2.2.5.5 (EE) when playing with the doveadm command.

Naturally renaming a users mail folder should be done via "doveadm es consistent.

So when using "doveadm rename" trying to rename a folder with special characters e.g. german umlauts like "ä" it seems to create the folder wrongly in the filesystem.

Example: When I want to rename a users folder 'geschaftliches' to 'gesch&AOQ-ftliches' ("&AOQ-" is the correct mUTF-7 encoding for "ä") using the command

doveadm mailbox rename -u user 'geschaftliches' 'gesch&AOQ-ftliches'

it ends up in the filesystem renamed as "gesch&-AOQ-ftliches" which has an falsely added "-" set after the "&" and therefore the folder is also wrongly shown in Mailclients like Thunderbird or web-mail systems like Horde. (Apparently "doveadm rename" supports only UTF-8 which shows up when trying to rename the folder with "doveadm mailbox rename -u user 'geschäftliches'" I get the error message "Fatal: Mailbox name not valid UTF-8: geschäftliches")

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 (until back-renaming in fs to the name it was indexed before).

This problem can be reproduced. Can you please fix this? (Not sure if this might change - maybe add an option to support UTF-7 similar to doveadm mailbox list "-7" option)

Thanks in advance, Megodin

My (relevant part) dovecot configuration (dovecot -n):
