I was using 4.3.0. I've justed updated to  4.8.1. Works like a charm  
:-) I'm hoping that everything will be Ok tomorrow morning...

The following courier-imap fix probably did it :

  2008-06-13  Mr. Sam  <mrsam at courier-mta.com>
         * rfc822_getaddr.c: Backslashed special characters in address names
         weren't being dequoted correctly by rfc822_getname() and
         rfc822_getname_orlist().

We probably ran into this problem before but I'm guessing all end user  
software always handled this issue silently. This includes older IMP.  
Amazing!

I won't be able to debug this anymore (Although I tried this  
afternoon, I got nowhere).
