Subject: Gnus nnimap doesn't decode Gmail's imap labels(folders)
Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2011 16:49:16 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87tyagt3w3.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
My Gmail account's language setting is in Chinese, so all labels except
INBOX are in Chinese. Chinese labels in Gmail's imap are encoded in
modified UTF-7 as described RFC-2060 5.1.3. With the following
gnus-select-method, I can read/get NEW mails in the INBOX, but all
others folders(Gmail labels) do not work well. Gnus can't get in these
nnimap 'groups'.
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "imap.gmail.com"))
The Gnus *Group* buffer:
------------------------------------------
*: [Gmail]/&kc2JgQ-
0: Notes
*: [Gmail]/&XfJT0ZCuTvY-
*: [Gmail]/&YkBnCZCuTvY-
*: [Gmail]/&g0l6Pw-
0: INBOX
*: [Gmail]
*: [Gmail]/&XfJSoGYfaAc-

-------------------------------------------
The whole buffer(or a single line) as a string can be decode into
correct Chinese label with utf7-decode.
(utf7-decode "*: [Gmail]/&kc2JgQ-" t)
==> "*: [Gmail]/重要"
The decoded whole buffer:
------------------------------------------
*: [Gmail]/重要
0: Notes
*: [Gmail]/已发邮件
*: [Gmail]/所有邮件
*: [Gmail]/草稿
0: INBOX
*: [Gmail]
*: [Gmail]/已加星标
1: nndraft:drafts
-------------------------------------------
If the lables are changed into ASCII in Gmail web interface. Gnus can
read and access the corresponding group well.
