In fact, I'm talking about the charset.  Exchange imap server uses Unicode
as the charset
and send folders names with Unicode as opposed to latin1 or other 8-bit
charsets.  And, according
to rfc 2060 that you quoted it has right to do that:

>    All other characters (octet values 0x00-0x1f, 0x7f-0xff, and all
>    Unicode 16-bit octets) are represented in modified BASE64, with a
>    further modification from [UTF-7] that "," is used instead of "/".

The convention includes 8-bit values (0x7f-0xff) which are the latin1 codes
but also Unicode that Microsoft
use.  There is the problem. The "imap_utf7" don't seem to care about
Unicode and that breaks IMP.  I first tought
that the rfc2060 "forced" to use Unicode but I'm not sure anymore (my
knowledge of this is VERY recent).

There is one thing for sure: Folders in Exchange Server don't appears as
they should! Is this PHP fault? IMP fault?
Exchange fault? I don't know.  All I want is a solution that will work with
Exchange and with other imap servers.
My solution works for me but is only valid for latin1 users
(ISO-8859-1).  My question was refering to the fact that I could use a
variable in place of hardcoding the charset.  Is there such a variable in
IMP 3.0?

Thanks.
