dovecot - May 2016 - Mailbox doesn't exist response

Hello,

Using the latest dovecot version, selecting a non-existing mailbox with non
printable characters encoded in utf7, the mailbox doesn't exist response
contains the folder name encoded in utf8.

Is that legal regarding the rfc ?

If yes, how the client can be aware of the used encoding ?

Thanks.
