From: Steve Purcell <steve <at> sanityinc.com> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: 24.0.50; Gnus IMAP fails to open folders whose names contain ampersands (&) Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2011 14:28:44 +0100
I have IMAP folders with names like 'Family.Mum & Dad'. These work fine in Apple Mail and other IMAP clients such as Squirrelmail. However, in GNUS they are displayed as Family.Mum &- Dad and when trying to open them, the following error results: Retrieving newsgroup: Family.Mum &- Dad... gnus-select-newsgroup: Couldn't request group Family.Mum &- Dad: NO Mailbox doesn't exist: Family.Mum &-- Dad Note also the double hyphen in the second message, which may perhaps provide a clue. The server is Dovecot, in case that matters.
