Add support for cyrillic folders #7

Closed asm0dey closed 4 years ago

asm0dey commented 4 years ago

When syncing mail with Gmail if I have folder with name like Рассылки it has some weird name in mutt, starting with umpersand.

Is it possible to fix it?

rpuntaie commented 4 years ago

The reason, I think, was that I didn't rely on mbsync to retrieve the mailbox list, but on a python script. It turns out that imap uses a special encoding that python does not consider yet.

The solution: I've changed the python code to decode using imap4-utf-7.

I can't test this, because I have no mail account with non-latin alphabet. It still works for latin alphabet. Could you test with the current github version and report here? If it work, I will make a new release.

Yep it works, thank you!

rpuntaie commented 4 years ago

Thanks for testing. I made a new release v2.0.3.

asm0dey commented 4 years ago

Hah, I can see cyryllic-named folders, but they're empty and everything is still being synced to strange-named ones :(

mw only fetches the mailbox names for IMAP. That was corrected.

Other than that the dependencies are used.

If you chose "online" for the account, then mutt does the synchronization. Then maybe this is still a problem: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/140372/greek-characters-in-mutts-sidebar-mailboxes-names-sourced-via-offlineimap

For "offline", mbsync gets the mails for IMAP, and getmail for POP3.

I know that getmail does imap-utf-7 decoding, because I just ported it to Python 3. getmail is used for IMAP, too, if the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/getmail has the according account config file. In the v2.0.3, if no mbsync is available, a getmail config is created also for IMAP.

In your case you most likely use mbsync. Regarding mbsync I found

You can try that archlinux patched version.

Oops, I can't try it because mailwizard-git requires isync :( On 20/05/12 02:48AM, Roland Puntaier wrote:

You can try by directly using the github version. First remove mailwizard-git and isync from your system. Then

git clone https://github.com/rpuntaie/mailwizard
cd mailwizard
sudo make install
