[Dovecot] How to create UTF encoded folders?
Hey, as I understand from post [1], system folders with UTF-8 chars in their names will only be available for use with Dovecot2 and I certainly look forward to that, but somehow I was short of info about the current use of UTF characters like ā, Ž etc. Should I just omit thinking about modified-UTF-7, avoid those characters for the time being and then with Dovecot2 create UTF-8 encoded folders with MUA and also on fs? Or there is something to know anyway? Please suggest as it would be a pity not to create folders with utf symbols...

No, they're not even in v2.0. I was thinking about it, but it became a bit too much work so I decided to leave it later.

mUTF-7 is the way to do it now, and if in future Dovecot supports UTF-8 in filesystem there will be a way to move to it automatically.
