dsync having problems with @-sign in mailbox names

[Philip Iezzi]

Hi there

We are running Cyrus-to-Dovecot migrations using dsync on destination Dovecot server (Debian Stretch / latest Dovecot 2.3.7.2 from community repo) like this:

  $ doveadm -o mail_fsync=never backup -R -u <username> imapc:

For imapc configuration to connect to remote Cyrus server, see below [1].
While this works great for hundreds of mailaccounts, dsync fails with the following error on accounts with @-sign in mailbox names:

  dsync(<username>): Error: Failed to access mailbox INBOX/entrance/admin at example: Invalid mailbox name

I can confirm, Dovecot supports @-sign in mailbox names and no client (tested with Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Roundcube webmail) has issue with this character.
Also Cyrus was always supporting this. So I guess this is an issue with dsync. Can we somehow tune charset (UTF-8 ?) in imapc configuration?

Thanks,
Philip
