IMAP supports non-ASCII charsets but the protocol is a bit cumbersome
and I haven't implemented it in nnir yet. The support is also server
dependent: the spec says all servers must support US-ASCII but are not
required to support any other charsets. I have no idea which servers
support what at the moment.
To see if your server supports iso-8859 you can try to use a raw imap
search and append "CHARSET ISO-8859" and see what happens :)
