I wanted to login to an existing account so the password works OK in 
Thunderbird.

Here in Germany it is recommended for safe passwords to use the German 
umlauts(ßÄÖÜäöü). So code page 437 vs 850 or UTF-8 ?

If I could pass in the bytes then I could figure out the correct encoding 
myself.(Try and error) I suppose that in other regions people want to use other 
encodings. And as long as the encoding is the same when setting the password 
and transmitting the password then everything is fine, right?
