In Courier version 4.7.0 (according to changelog, looks like nothing  
substantial has changed to the present version), I get this:

(("=?utf-8?b?IkZyYW7Dp29pcw==?= Xavier. XXXXXX" NIL "rsalmon" "mbpgroup.com"))

So it is silently stripping the trailing double quote, which means it  
is still broken, although in a different way.  However, IMP seems to  
handle this just fine.

The proper way of quoting this string would be:

(("=?utf-8?b?IkZyYW7Dp29pcw==?= Xavier. XXXXXX\\\"" NIL "rsalmon"  
"mbpgroup.com"))

Or better yet, use a real server (like dovecot) that does literal  
quoting the second it sees either a backslash or double quote.
