thanks

Hi,

Upstream assessment is following:

> >  * BUG: Does not allow non-ASCII chars in IMAP folder name
> >    http://bugs.debian.org/513116 (this seems to be valid bug for current 
> > version)
> 
> This is the first I've heard of this bug, but getmail itself doesn't care
> about this.  The error shown in that thread:
> 
>   getmailrc: operation error (IMAP error (UID command error: BAD
>   ['unsupported folder name: At position 3: non-printable character.']))
> 
> ... that's not getmail complaining about the folder name, that's the IMAP
> server complaining.  getmail sent the folder name as supplied by the user and
> the server refused it.

>   5.1.    Mailbox Naming
> 
>   Mailbox names are 7-bit.  Client implementations MUST NOT attempt to create
>   8-bit mailbox names, and SHOULD interpret any 8-bit mailbox names returned

>   in LIST or LSUB.

Thus this is feature request and will be taged as wontfix.
