I believe you missed the 'special' in "The special UTF-7 codec for IMAP?"
Imap folders use a non-standard version of utf-7, where some characters are different.
I found som messages from 2001 on the net between a few Python unicode developers, where they discuss implementing it. But I cannot find an implementation anywhere.
I found a perl module that converts to/from the codec, but as usual that is regex hell. Well ok its not that difficult, but I still need to think to hard to parse Perl regex'
