german umlauts in imap-folders

Dear all,

unfortunately i am a german ;) thus i have to deal quite often with german 
umlauts in imap folders. my employer uses a ms exchange server with a 
german named "imap" folder "Entwürfe". Since I am not allowed to rename 
this folder to something "umlaut-less" i was wondering if you guys can 
help me with the following prob:

alpine does not display imap folders with umlauts correctly. any way to 
change this ?

i tried to create a new folder, using a name containg umlauts, but alpine 
doesn't like this either .....

Thanks in advance,

Nico

What do you see in the screen that makes you say this? Do you see the name 
encoded? do you not see the folder? Is the name displayed incorrectly? 
again,  what is it that you see?

i see the name of the folder:

"Entw&APw-rfe"

which would display correctly:

"Entwürfe"

hope this is the information you've been asking for....

You need to patch Alpine in order to display the name correctly. The patch 
can be downloaded from

http://patches.freeiz.com/alpine/info/foldername.html

I hope this helps.
