Content
The IMAP4rev1 specification allows for non-ASCII mailbox names using a modified UTF-7 encoding (section 5.1.3 of RFC 2060 or 3501). However, the imaplib routines taking a mailbox name just pass the string straight through without any encoding. It would be useful if Python provided an encoder/decoder for the modified UTF-7 encoding, and optionally if imaplib would perform the encoding and decoding at the appropriate points.
