Mail IMAP after 10.5.2 can't read ANY mails in boxes with non-ascii names

I have Mail with IMAP that connects to a regular MAC OS X Tiger server running IMAP.
After upgrading to 10.5.2 on the client, Mail can no longer read ANY mails at all in any mailbox whose path contains a non-ascii character!
Hence: If a box is called 'Övrigt', it only lists the mails in the mail box, but it will not show any of the contents of any of the mails! Hence, I cannot access any of these mails! Catastrophic!
I have to downgrade to 10.5.1, unless someone knows of a workaround.

Same problem here (or at least in part). Some .mac folders did no longer show any messages, while they were there and could be seen online and with Thunderbird. After your remark I changed the name of a folder which contained a "´" and now it works. It is really strange because there is another folder with a "¨" in it which does not work (I will test if the name change works with this folder as well in a minute) whilst there is another one with such name which works fine. The update really messed up Mail and in Dutch we just use such characters so Mail without supporting them will be rather useless for me...

Sending mail from servers with non-ASCII names

As part of an effort to internationalize our product we're testing on machines with host names that include non-ASCII characters (accented e's and whatnot). When trying to send mail from these machines we're getting:
javax.mail.MessagingException: 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.issueCommand(SMTPTransport.java:1634)
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.helo(SMTPTransport.java:1068)
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.protocolConnect(SMTPTransport.java:458)

at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:190)
at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:120)
at msgsendsample.main(msgsendsample.java:86)
Looking at a network trace I see the EHLO command being sent as
EHLO test[0xe9][0xdf]\r\n
where the machine name is testéß. From a Unicode table 0xe9 0xdf = é ß.
I found a reference from RFC 5336 (SMTP Extension for Internationalized Email Addresses) that says the hostname in the EHLO must be in the form of ACE (ASCII-compatible encoding) labels:
3.7.1. The Initial SMTP Exchange
When an SMTP connection is opened, the server normally sends a
"greeting" response consisting of the 220 response code and some
information. The client then sends the EHLO command. Since the
client cannot know whether the server supports UTF8SMTP until after
it receives the response from EHLO, any domain names that appear in
this dialogue, or in responses to EHLO, MUST be in the hostname form,
i.e., internationalized ones MUST be in the form of ACE labels.
ACE encoding for my machine would be: java.net.IDN.toASCII("test4éß") --> "xn--testss-eva".
I'm not sure if this RFC applies in this case - I didn't know anything about the guts of SMTP until yesterday - but it makes sense that you'd need to escape the hostname in the EHLO until you can negotiate capabilities.
Looking at the JavaMail API it seems that if I were to call SMTPTransport.helo(String domain) myself without going through the higher-level Transport class that maybe I could work around the issue, but I haven't looked into it enough to know if that's feasible.
Is anyone familiar with this problem? I'm using JavaMail 1.4.2 on Windows 2003 and Exchange as my SMTP server.
thanks,
Eric

Can ims5.2p1 do sieve filter searches with non-ASCII chars?

Particularly, is it possible with the
Subject header line, which is
=?xxx?Q?xxxxx?= or =?xxx?B?xxxxx?= encoded
Resolved the fileinto foldername part, but
now found that seems like ims's sieve filter
cannot do non-ASCII matches... Thanks.

Hi, back! Spent a few hours experimenting and found
that everything is working great (including the creation
of international non-ASCII foldernames) when I used
utf-8 encoding in the sieve filters rules for the
the match strings and the folder names... at least
so far so good... for your ref and sorry for bothering.

Can't get the attachment filename out of a Part (with non ascii characters)

Hello, all and happy new year :)
My issue is with non ascii filename in attachments... Yes i've read the FAQ : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/faq-135477.html#encodefilename
I can't get the filename out of the BodyPart for those kind of attachments
here's my unit test :

          public Part get(){
               try{
               ByteArrayInputStream bis = new ByteArrayInputStream(this.content.getBytes());
               Part part = new MimeBodyPart(bis);
               bis.close();
               return part;
               catch(Throwable e){
                    return null;

          for(EncodedFileNamePart part : EncodedFileNamePart.values())
               assertEquals(part.name(),MimeUtility.decodeText(part.get().getFileName()),part.getTarget());
I take a NullPointerExcepion in the decodeText because getFileName() return null for the EVOLUTION case, and work well with OUTLOOK, THUNDERBIRD and GMAIL.
Evolution's content type is "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename*=ISO-8859-1''d%E9j%E0no%EBl.txt" wich doesn't look like the other (looks like the RFC 2616 or RFC5987 to do it.)
How can i handle this situation except by writting my own decoder?
Thanks for your answers!
Edited by: user13619058 on 4 janv. 2011 07:44

Set the System property "mail.mime.decodeparameters" to "true" to enable the RFC 2231 support.
See the javadocs for the javax.mail.internet package for the list of properties.
Yes, the FAQ entry should contain those details as well.

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document. When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

hi there
try the vi
..vi.lib\platform\browser.llb\Open Acrobat Document.vi
it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)

I can log into hotmail using firefox, but I can't read any of my emails, and most of the links don't work either.

I can't read any emails in my msn account. I'm using Firefox 4.0.1. Every time I click on one, it acts like it's reloading the page, but nothing happens. It happens when I click on links to my folders as well. It works fine in Google Chrome though. Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm having the same issues, running Firefox 3.6.
After downloading Windows Updates for Vista, Hotmail has stopped working.
I can log on, but can't click on any messages.
None of the buttons work at all in Hotmail; it's completely frozen.
I have to log on using Internet Explorer.
I had the same problems with Firefox 4.0; Norton 360 wouldn't work properly with it, so I deleted it, and went back to Firefox 3.6.

Hello JF.
I don't think that extension is supported. I believe Firefox can only read .json and .html.

How can I connect Bluetooth in iPad retina with non apple devices ?

How can I connect Bluetooth in iPad retina with non apple devices ?

What devices?
The iPad can only pair with earphones, speakers and keyboards.
It cannot directly pair with other phones or computers for file transfer or other operations.
Most Bluetooth devices will have a user guide to connect them to other devices. follow that to start the process.
From the iPad side, its just a matter of going inot Settings->BlueTooth turning it on, and searching for the device to pair.

With Lightroom 4 I can't read any .DNG files directly into Photoshop CS. I have"camera raw 2.4" selected in LR and the Plug-in for CS is Camera Raw.8BI.
Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you tried a different DNG converter? Adobe released Adobe DNG Converter 5.3 in March of this year. Maybe, if it supports your camera, this version will create a more compatible file.

Can Mac read a dcr file made with win?

Hello,
Can Mac read a dcr file made with win?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Sean,
I posted the question because of some problem of user to read the web page with dcr.
You assumed right, it is e dcr hosted in a browser page and viewed via shockwave with safari.
I don't know the nature of the problem but the user get an error.
Maybe I must decide to buy a mac and do some test.
Thank you again.

Same problem with the mouse, but with the mouse I can leave the cursor in place in the text field and move to the keyboard to type. As long as the cursor is in the field it stays editable.
The problem with the pen is it's in my hand all of the time. I just flip it up under my thumb against my palm to type. So, as soon as I move the pen, the field goes away and I can't type in it. Hoping this is making sense.
My tablet does have the touch function too, and I just found out I can use my finger to tap in the text field, then type. I guess that'll be my solution since I prefer not to leave a mouse set up on this iMac.
I'm thinking now that this is just a problem with the pen itself, and nothing to do with iPhoto. So glad to have this figured out! I really like iPhoto '11! So much easier for me, a simple P&S gal, than Aperture 3. I use iPhoto Library Manager too and love it!
Thanks so much! Debbie

Hi AM_Kidd.
Thanks for your reply.
I have done a complete uninstall and re install of iTunes and all related apple programs from my laptop through control panel, add remove programs and also by going through program files and deleting all tracers of any left over folders remove programs may have missed.
My apologies for forgetting to add this in my original post.
Thanks again

My laptop can't read any cd/dvd and problem with LHS shift key

My laptop (HP Pavilion dv6-2005tx Entertainment Notebook PC) can't read any cd/dvd's when i put them in the drive and also my LHS shift key does not work while pressing it for writing/using capital letters. please help me at the earliest.

Quote from: eftos
In control panel the Primary Ide chanel (the hard-disk) is working in UDMA mode 6, and the secondary Ide chanel (the DVDRW) is working in UDMA mode 4.
When i want to burn any CD or DVD with Nero, Roxio or anything else, i have this nice message :
DMA driver error. CRC error. Burn failled.
Solved !
I change the IDE cable with one of 80 wires.
This is MAGIC !!!
The 80-conductor cable was first defined with the original Ultra DMA modes 0, 1 and 2, covering transfer speeds up to 33.3 MB/s.
The cable is considered "optional" for those modes.
However, for any Ultra DMA modes above mode 2, the 80-conductor cable is mandatory.
cheers
