[Dovecot] RFC 6154: German umlauts in special_use folder names
Hi,
the Drafts special folder is called "Entwürfe" in German locale. How should the special_use entry in the config file look like?
Would you recommended to use the encoded folder name...
mailbox "Entw&APw-rfe" { special_use = \Drafts }
...or rather the utf-8 Encoding in the dovecot config file?
mailbox "Entwürfe" { special_use = \Drafts }
Regards Daniel

which german client does mailbox "Entw&APw-rfe" and is able to use special_use
i ve testet k9 mail 4.2 german, no need for translate \Drafts is auto noticed then it does \Drafts ( Entwürfe ) in the gui, i think this or equal should be the right way for all clients
i ve done this for Archive ( to goal Tb Layout, which hasnt special_use yet), but still untested, so try test something for like this for Drafts too, but for now i dont know a client wich is ready and out for special use with german language ( the new outlook will be, but its not out in german yet , as my latest look on it, the beta is only in englisch or spanish )
mailbox Archive { special_use = \Archive auto=no } mailbox "Archives" { special_use = \Archive auto=subscribe }

I'm not sure which client created it and if any of my clients does support special_use, but I found the following mailbox on our mdbox filesystem:
# ls -ld mail/mailboxes/Entw\&APw-rfe drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 2012-05-22 19:58 mail/mailboxes/Entw&APw-rfe
Seems like k9mail or Android Mail must have created it in May 2012, the folder is not subscribed and contains only a single mail. The rest is in "Drafts" mailbox (where it belongs).

I would recommand stay cool until you can verify german clients using imap special_use i dont think it makes sense react now, Timo said he might will create some wiki page in relate clients matrix with special use

UTF8 is (or should be) now used everywhere in config files.
