Comment(by pdmef):
A proposed fix is here:
http://bitbucket.org/pdmef/muttfixesmq/src/tip/ticket-3284
Unfortunately, hcache suffers the same problem. The problem is: Unicode
folder names in IMAP are UTF-7 encoded. Mutt decodes that to UTF-8 and
does charset conversion to $charset. That path is then displayed to the
user and used for hcache/bache paths which thus depend on $charset. E.g.
gmail used "[Google Mail]/Entwürfe" (German u umlaut, likely this is
"[Google Mail]/Drafts" or the like in the english version). With a UTF-8
locale, the umlaut is encoded as 0xC3 0xBC, but with a latin1 charset as
0xFC. If the user switches locales, he ends up with two different bcaches
and two different hcaches.
The proposed fix uses URL-like encoding using '+' instead of '%'. Thus,
the above folder is always 'Entw+C3+BCrfe' on disk.
