Description Mikael Nilsson 2006-01-11 12:13:56 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I have IMAP folders with Swedish characters, such as "Temporärt". In the Debian
package 2.4.1-3, they displayed fine and worked perfectly.

Since a recent upgrade to 2.4.2.1-1, these folders no longer work. They are
displayed like Temporärt (two wierd characters instead of ä), and when clicking
them evolution says "Mailbox does not exist: Temporärt (with correct display
this time!)".

However, trying to create a folder named Temporärt results in "Mailbox already
exists: Temporärt".

I am completely at a loss trying to get to my mail in these boxes through
evolution...

The strange thing is that creating a completely *new* folder called "blabläbla"
works like a charm, displays correctly and works. The same is *not* true if an
UTF-8 folder the folder is created in squirrelmail...

The server (Maildir on dovecot) calls the folder .Tempor&AOQ-rt, if that is any
help.

Squirrelmail

Does this happen every time?

Well, no, it only work immediately after creation. Next time I start evolution (or whatever it is that makes it reread the folders from the server), it's called
blabläbla.
