Hi,

I just found out Horde_Imap_Client::getMetaData() returns modified  
UTF-7 encoded mailbox names.
This happens with an ANNOTATEMORE based cyrus server.

The more common listMailbox() function returns the mailbox names as UTF-8.

Is this the desired behavior? IMHO the API would be more consistent
if all mailbox names are encoded as UTF-8.


The Kolab_Storage code brute-force converts all mailbox names from  
modified UTF-7 to UTF-8,
even the output of listMailboxes(). That does not look right either...  
but it's a separate issue :o)

Cheers,
Thomas
