UTF folders created via OE and SquirrelMail

Thanks Sebastian and Sava,

It is a SquirrelMail problem:
$default_charset = 'utf-8'; in config.php fixed that!!! 

Best Regards,
Leon Kolchinsky

Not really. At least one of the apps has a bug. Unless you can get a fixed version, there's nothing you can do. Mulberry (R.I.P.) does the right thing. So if you want to find out which app has the bug, download Mulberry and compare:
