folders with spaces in the name

[enaut]

I'd like to receive mails from the Junk Mail folder. However, when I try to get the messages from that mailbox, I get an error:

Request Method: 	POST
Request URL: 	http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/django_mailbox/mailbox/
Django Version: 	5.0.6
Exception Type: 	error
Exception Value: 	

SELECT command error: BAD [b"Unexpected value 'Mail'."]

Exception Location: 	/usr/lib64/python3.12/imaplib.py, line 1055, in _command_complete

The URL I used:

imap+ssl://solawis-dev%40domain.de:repassword%5DN%2Ce9B@domain.de?archive=Archived&folder=Junk%20Mail

Should that work or am I using this wrong?

Hi @enaut ,
As far as i can see, the issue is related to imaplib and It seems to be a pretty common issue.
I didn't test but it seems you. have to quote the folder in the url when it contains spaces: ?archive=Archived&folder="Junk Mail". Once encoded properly it should give you an url like that:
imap+ssl://solawis-dev%2540domain.de%3Arepassword%255DN%252Ce9B%40domain.de%3Farchive%3DArchived%26folder%3D%22Junk%20Mail%22

You were right but you encoded too much only the quotes need to be encoded not the equals sign and all the previous special characters:

imap+ssl://solawis-dev%40domain.de:repassword%5DN%2Ce9B@domain.de?archive=Archived&folder=%22Junk%20Mail%22
