Hi,

I am implementing imap server, have been successfull in listing the folders
but if folder name contains space than only first word of the folder name is
displayed why?? how can i overcome this
example: if name is "My mails" than while listing at client it shows only
"My" as the folder name.


waiting for reply
thank you in advance,
regards

My suspicion is that some clients may do this if you're not sending 
the mailbox name as a quoted string or literal in the LIST response.
