Problem with spaces, backslashes, etc in folder names (Lotus Domino)

[Niccolo Rigacci]

Hi to all,

I'm wondering if I have hitted a bug or just a misconfiguration 
of offlineimap.

I'm using OfflineIMAP 6.5.5-rc3, the error message is:

 ERROR: getfolder() asked for a nonexisting folder '.DONALD/ Yarn 
resource'.
 ['  File 
"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/offlineimap/accounts.py", 
line 241, in syncrunner\n    self.sync()\n', '  File

line 320, in sync\n    localfolder = 
self.get_local_folder(remotefolder)\n', '  File

line 269, in get_local_folder\n

'  File 
"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/offlineimap/repository/Maildir.py", 
line 134, in getfolder\n    OfflineImapError.ERROR.FOLDER)\n']
 *** Finished account 'Test' in 0:01
 ERROR: Exceptions occurred during the run!
 ERROR: getfolder() asked for a nonexisting folder '.DONALD/ Yarn 
resource'.

I suppose there is a problem with the name
"DONALD/ Yarn resource" which is listed by IMAP as:

* LIST () "\\" Bozze
* LIST () "\\" "DONALD/ Yarn resource"
* LIST () "\\" FOTOVOLTAICO

When importing into local Maildir the program gets fooled and it 
creates a Maildir "DONALD" with a nested Maildir
" Yarn resource"

Is there a way to keep the slash "/" as a literal character in 
local Maildir (GNU/Linux) or to convert it into another char, 
instead of using it as subdir separator?

Locally we use just one level for subfolders, sub-subfolders are 
instead created as ".subdir1_name.subdir2_name".


Here it is the offlineimap --info output:
