I dont get this modified UTF-7 encoding. It sounds simple enough 
(basically base64encode any weird char and surround the base64 parts 
with &...-)
   
Reality seems to be different though. In php, both the Net_IMAP class 
and the function imap_utf7_encode() do what I describe above, but the 
IMAP URL RFC (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2192.html) has some example 
code at the end that is used by kontact and looks a lot more 
complicated. Those two yield wildly different encodings of course... 
 
Any ideas?
