The ^M is the regular CR from the doveadm output converted by cat -v and
I used it to show there is a trailing space.

root at ka-nfs-mail:/poolN/dovecot/imap/<domain>/<user>/mdbox/mailboxes# ls
-1|cat -v|grep hbereich
[Fachbereiche
[Fachbereiche
[Fachbereiche]
Fachbereiche
hbereiche

So there is no ^M/CR in the filename itself.
