Umlaut in Loginname does not work

[McShelby]

I am using hmailserver and may login name contains a german umlaut. This isn't an issue for Squirrelmail, as it logs me on correctly. Roundcubes log instead writes:

[16-Aug-2006 21:01:14 +0200] IMAP Error: Authentication for Sören@… failed (LOGIN): "a001 NO Invalid user name or password." in on line 0

I confirmed that a connection between hmail and RC exists by accessing onto a different account. There exists a different bug here in track, having an issue with special characters in the password field. I bet this is the same kind of bug.

I did some testing.

special characters are supported it seems - or some of them by adding "" quotes arounn the password. Only for the username this does not do the trick. The username has to be alphanumeric.

I have the idea if other methods then PLAIN or LOGIN are allowed on an IMAP server that an MD5 encrypted login would maybe circumvent this issue. (How come squirrel doe snot have this issue?)

[seansan]

Found code from squirrel to escape slashes and quotes, but nothing for umlauts

in imap.inc

function quoteimap($str) {
    return preg_replace("/([\"\\\\])/", "\\\\$1", $str);
}

function iil_C_Login(&$conn, $user, $password){

    $password = strtr($password, array('"'=>'\\"', '\\' => '\\\\'));  
    fputs($conn->fp, "a001 LOGIN \"".quoteimap($user)."\" \"".quoteimap($password)."\"\r\n");

I wonder what other methods hmailserver supports that this imap extension maybe cannot detect / support?

i tryed it here but i dont know if it has to do with rc as much as it may lay in the type of table in the database that rc uses. using show logging.
