clients, but vm gives a "Server said "NO" message".
I tried escaping and double escaping the ':' in the folder name to no
avail...
I don't think it is possible because ':' is used as a special character in
VM. I would recommend not using folder names with ':' in them.
Yeah... I just was testing some code of mine and was curious how folders
with colons in them would be treated...
Colons seem to work fine on non-imap folders and they get escaped with a
"\" when one accesses them in the bash shell
I think for completeness, it would be nice to allow such escaping for
IMAP folders too since the IMAP protocol seems to allow such names. (Of
course, in reality, it's not a personal issue since I don't tend to use
special characters in any of my file names.)
Post by Uday ReddyThe only way out might be to use Thunderbird or some other mail client to
rename those folder names...
True... but it would be nice for vm to be similarly functional...
