dovecot - Sep 2012 - RFC 6154: German umlauts in special_use folder names

Hi,

the Drafts special folder is called "Entw?rfe" in German locale.
How should the special_use entry in the config file look like?

Would you recommended to use the encoded folder name...

mailbox "Entw&APw-rfe" {
  special_use = \Drafts
}

...or rather the utf-8 Encoding in the dovecot config file?

mailbox "Entw?rfe" {
  special_use = \Drafts
}

Regards
Daniel

which german client does mailbox "Entw&APw-rfe"
and is able to use special_use

i ve testet k9 mail 4.2 german, no need for translate
\Drafts is auto noticed then it does \Drafts ( Entw?rfe ) in the gui, i
think this or equal should be the right way
for all clients

i ve done this for Archive ( to goal Tb Layout, which hasnt special_use
yet), but still untested, so try test something for like this for Drafts
too, but for now i dont know a client wich is ready and out for special
use with german language ( the new outlook will be, but its not out in
german yet , as my latest look on it, the beta is only in englisch or
spanish )

mailbox Archive {
    special_use = \Archive
    auto=no
 }
  mailbox "Archives" {
    special_use = \Archive
    auto=subscribe
  }

login telnet

UTF8 is (or should be) now used everywhere in config files.
