Quotes in mailbox names

[Marc-André Gaudreau]

Hi,
 
I posted this question a few weeks ago but never got any answers...  :(
 
The Cyrus server does not support quotes in mailbox names.  Is there any
good reason for that?  Can I just add a quote to GOODCHARS in mboxname.c
or will this cause all sorts of problems?
 
I tried this simple modification in mboxname.c (the only difference is
the single quote) :
 
458c458
< #define GOODCHARS "
+,-.'0123456789:=@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz~
"
---
> #define GOODCHARS "
+,-.0123456789:=@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz~"

And everything seems to be working fine (plus I can create folders with
single quotes in their name).  However, there might be a good reason why
some characters are not legal and my modification in mboxname.c might
have some repercussions I don't know about.
 
Can anybody tell me if they made a similar modification or tell me that
they know this is not a good idea?
 
I want to enable quotes in a mailbox name because our users should be
able to use Bynari's Insight Connector with the french version of
Outlook.  In the french version of Outlook, the "Outbox" folder is named
"Boîte d'envoi" (it can't be renamed) and I currently get an error each
time I try to synchronise my local folders with the IMAP server
(something like "can't create Boîte d'envoi on the server").
 
Thanks.
