[imp] imap_utf7 calls and Exchange server

[Robert Marchand]

Hi,

I'm afraid you're right! What is missing is a real Unicode encode/decode 
function.
Even with that, there would be a problem of continuity with the previous 
version.
The decoding function would be compatible but with the encoding function 
how do we
know the imap server will use Unicode or not? In my case I will probably 
add a flag to
the server description.  I think the best for now is an optional 
patch.  I'll post mine when it
is ready.  For now we are yet to decide if our IMP service should or not 
support the new
Exchange server because we also promote Oultook Web Access.

Thanks.
