[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:

--------

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!
