Debugging the issue further let us to #13554 and the > change in > https://github.com/horde/horde/commit/10a822329f9fcaa8026de4c1e56de637554cf261 & > https://github.com/horde/horde/commit/ecea895075319793c034a30a625be1bc5db60a6c > > Further we debugged http://imapproxy.org/ and figured out that only > AUTH=LOGIN is supported by it. > > So summarizing the issue: > > Up to 10a822329f9fcaa8026de4c1e56de637554cf261 the method > Horde_Imap_Client_Data_Format_Astring didn't complain about nonascii > chars and hence horde just used the LOGIN method in combination with > an imapproxy. Because our backend imap-server (dovecot) accpeted > nonascii characters with the LOGIN method this worked fine. > After the change to Horde_Imap_Client_Data_Format_Astring logins > using passwords with nonascii characters stopped working, because the > method was now throwing an error. > However, given that imapproxy does only support AUTH=LOGIN there is > no way atm to use horde together with imapproxy. > > Furthemore, the errormessage thrown at > https://github.com/horde/horde/blob/master/framework/Imap_Client/lib/Horde/Imap/Client/Socket.php#L735 is very general and hence misleading, because you need to dig into the code to figure out, that it failed because of character > issues. > > Givent that imapproxy is recommended by > http://www.horde.org/apps/imp/docs/PERFORMANCE and that nonascii > character passwords are very likely and that modern imap-servers > (e.g. dovecot) do not have a problem with login commands with > nonascii characters, there should be a way to get the old behavior > back.
