By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

List of folders in maillist

I'm russian and I prefer to use russian locale of TDE. It seems that kmail broke some strings while conversion of encodings.

Every time I try to update content of my mail-folders annoying error appear: http://savepic.ru/3188746.png. It say that folder with name Д䐾ᑼгиѺ я䑍ᑹк is not accessible.

It's interesting that some of the characters of folder name still correct (for example the 1st charater).

Oh, also. This bug appear after updating from 3.5.12 to 3.5.13.

Does this issue only occur with remote folders?  Also, are you using IMAP or some other protocol to access the remote server?

Yes, it occur only with remote folders when I use IMAP. POP3 work correctly.

It is interesting to note that some folders still updated via IMAP. But some can not be retrieved from the server.

There is nothing strange or interesting in output of KMail.

I made a screenshot of the error message in the English locale: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/535/122ee.png/

Does it work when you set your TDE language to English?

I know this is not a solution, but I am looking for a way to reproduce the issue here, as I cannot read (or even type) Russian.

As I wrote when I set the language of TDE in English, the bug is still occurs.

I have already posted screenshot with error message in English (when I set TDE language to English): http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/535/122ee.png/

I think the bug occurs when IMAP server returns a folder names are not in English. Somewhere, this information is damaged or twice re-encoded into the system locale.
