[Fetchmail-users] Unicode (remote) mailbox names

[ಚಿರಾಗ್ ನ. <chi...@gm...>]

Hey all,

So I am bilingual and speak both Kannada and English fluently. I decided to switch my Google account over to Kannada just for fun and realized that it broke my fetchmail setup. After some investigation, I found out that the remote mailbox name had changed from "[Gmail]/All Mail" to "[Gmail]/ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಮೇಲ್". However, changing the name in my .fetchmailrc didn't fix the issue. The exact output I got when running fetchmail in verbose mode is given here:

--------
fetchmail: starting fetchmail 6.4.0.beta4 daemon
fetchmail: 6.4.0.beta4 querying imap.gmail.com (protocol IMAP) at : poll started

The configuration I am using is given here:

--------
set postmaster "chiraag"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set softbounce
set properties ""
poll imap.gmail.com with proto IMAP
       user 'chiraag.nataraj' there with password 'supersecretpassword' is 'chiraag' here
       options keep ssl sslproto "TLS1+" mda "getmail_maildir $HOME/Mail/Gmail/"
  folder "[Gmail]/ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಮೇಲ್"
--------

Am I missing something or does fetchmail not (currently) support Unicode mailbox names?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Chiraag,

I hadn't heard of Kannada before.  For others on the list like me: it's
one of the `scheduled languages of India', with over 40 million native
speakers.

Have you a missing `"' to end the `folder's parameter?
fetchmail(1)'s description of `Run Control Syntax' suggests it could be
an unquoted string without any `"' at all.

Hello Chiraag,

you are right, fetchmail does not currently transcode mailbox names to
the modified UTF-7 format that IMAP requires for mailbox names per
RFC3501 chapter 5.1.3, <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501#page-19>

Does it work if you specify

folder "[Gmail]/&DI4MsgzNDLIMvg- &DK4MxwyyDM0-"

? (I hope my gnome-terminal and Thunderbird and clipboard haven't messed
up my copy and paste and that I haven't made a mistake translating the
mailbox name to modified UTF-7)

Regards,

Hi Matthias,

Thank you so much, the solution worked beautifully and my fetchmail is (once again) downloading my emails!

Sincerely,
