creating folder with a . in the folder name will create subfolders, e.g. folder name 12.34.56 creates 12 +- 34 +- 56 And that is exactly what is intended. For your IMAP server, '.' is the namespace separator.

Ending with a . creates a folder without a name, which can´t be selected in the folder tree (can´t remember if navigation tree oder folder administration tree, perhaps both).

btw: I can't assign the bug to myself, atleast I don't appear in the "owners" list. Is that intended? You need to be in the "responsible users" setting for each queue for that; you're not currently in it for IMP.

Would it make sense to add an extra warning to IMP's test.php if mbstring is not installed? It's already a warning at Horde's test.php page. That should suffice.

Source of the trouble is imap_utf7_encode() as it produces a broken modified UTF-7 stream. Upstream bug: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45213 The same bug hit me 2002 :o) Installing the mbstring extension does solve it. I forgot to reload httpd when I first tried it... Would it make sense to add an extra warning to IMP's test.php if mbstring is not installed?

Thanks for testing, I'll look into it. The 228 (0xE4) smells like the start sequence of a unicode string...

Hello, I'm unable to create new folders with umlauts in the name. After adding some debug output to String::converCharset it turns out that my iso-8859-1 test string "Täst" contains a character with decimal value 228 instead of the expected 132. The value seems already wrong after the Util::getFormData() call. It tried it with Firefox and konqueror on Linux and IE7 on windows to make sure it's not a browser problem. Jan, can you test if this works for you? I also tried enabling/disabling the mbstring extension, no difference.
