Steps to reproduce the error
Within an existing folder create a new folder having spaces mkdir -p Maildir/INBOX/OneFolder/Another\ Folder/{cur,new,tmp}
Run offlineimap
What happens is that on the server the folder OneFolder -> Another is created. Notice that the created folder is only the first word of the total folder name (Another Folder).
This started happening after I upgraded offlineimap from a version from when dinosaurs roamed the earth and to the version noted above. I thought to myself that this was probably just an issue with the database or something being unusable due to a large discrepancy in versions. So I deleted my whole local email storage, deleted all offlineimap database/storage directories and performed a complete new sync.
Upon creating a new folder and syncing I still saw the same behaviour, hence this ticket. Is there anything more I can do to shed light on what is happening here?
