>> This test whether a string is already encoded doesn't work. >> Ampersands are used for other escapings than escaping the ampersand >> itself too. I can't access the folder "Quarantäne" anymore, for >> example, because it translates to "Quarant&AOQ-ne". > > Then all of Horde_Imap_Client is broken.

Just because it is technically feasible does not mean > that we should allow it.
