Jean-Paul Calderone added the comment:

You're correct in pointing out that IMAP4 supports arbitrary encodings,
so simply hard-coding ASCII is not correct.  The encoding isn't
connection-level, but applies to particular sequences of bytes in the
connection stream.  To correctly interpret the bytes as characters,
decoding must be integrated with the rest of the protocol implementation.
