Summary0004308: Unable to create mail folder "???"
Description

I configure Dovecot to work with UTF-8 in mail_location.
I set
SOGoSieveFolderEncoding = "UTF-8";
in /etc/sogo/sogo.conf

But I have problems with create and view mail folder with Cyrillic letters with third letter '?' in name. Any other Cyrillic letter as third letter works without problem.

Try to create mail folder: An error occured while creating the mailbox "???".
Created in Thunderbird folder "???" show in Web UI as "???"

Steps To Reproduce

In Mail view try to create folder with name "???".

Dialog is appeared: An error occured while creating the mailbox "???".

TagsNo tags attached.

Third letters which cause this problem:

U+043F CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER PE
(UTF-8: 0xD0 0xBF)

U+047F CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER OT
(UTF-8: 0xD1 0xBF)

U+04BF CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER ABKHASIAN CHE WITH DESCENDER
(UTF-8: 0xD2 0xBF)

If such a folder (three Cyrillic letters, the third one a "special" one) is created in the filesystem directly, it is displayed by SOGo with the third letter replaced with:

U+04FF CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER HA WITH STROKE
(UTF-8: 0xD3 0xBF)

This could also be observed when a Russian folder "Sent" ("????????????") was created in the filesystem directly (after an import). Then its 3rd letter was exactly a bad one, so it was displayed incorrectly in SOGo.

Either 0xbf or the last 2 bits set (3 == 11B) in UCS seem to be the trigger.

Every third Cyrillic letter is affected: I've just created (in the filesystem) a folder with a very long name consisting solely of Cyrillic small PE, and this is how it is shown in SOGo web-interface:

*__*__**__...

  • denotes the bad sign here, _ -- the good letter.

I wonder whether other interfaces have this problem. (What other interaces does SOGo server except for the web-interface?.. Well, probably, only ActiveSync. IMAP is done directly through dovecot, and dovecot treats them fine, was confirmed by an experiment)

sope-correct-mUTF7-last-digit.patch (3,781 bytes)   
From 45db3976d3f4790337e3e8bfb149f053e88174f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Ivan Zakharyaschev <imz@altlinux.org>
Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2017 18:15:35 +0300
Subject: [PATCH] _{encodeTo,decodeOf}ModifiedUTF7(): 64th digit of the base is
 "," (RFC3501)

According to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501#section-5.1.3 ,
in comparison to Base64 encoding, "," should be used instead of "/"
as the greatest digit of the base.

Of course, this meant that the encodings used by an IMAP server (e.g.,
dovecot) and SOGo did not match when they were communicating with each
other.

For example, when SOGo attempts to create a folder whose encoding
includes the base64 "/" digit, it is not accepted as valid mUTF7 by
the IMAP server:

C[0x5649de0d5d30]: 5 LIST "" ""
S[0x5649de0f3640]: * LIST (\Noselect) "/" ""
S[0x5649de0f3640]: 5 OK List completed (0.001 + 0.040 + 0.039 secs).
C[0x5649de0d5d30]: 6 create "INBOX/&BD8EMAQ/BDA-"
S[0x5649de0f3640]: 6 NO Mailbox name is not valid mUTF-7 (0.001 + 0.000 secs).

In the other direction, when such a folder is listed by the IMAP
server, it appears with a ",", for example: "&BD8EMAQ/BDA-". And this
is not correctly decoded by SOGo due to the fact that "," is not known
to SOGo as a digit in this base and is mapped to -1 by the internal
table, which results in a wrong Unicode code.

An example of a Unicode string which would trigger this bug is a
string with U+043F CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER PE as the third letter:

$ printf '\x04\x3f\x04\x30\x04\x3f' | recode ucs-2..
$ printf '\x04\x3f\x04\x30\x04\x3f' | base64
BD8EMAQ/

Three two-byte Unicode (Cyrillic) characters correspond to eight 6-bit
base64 digits, the last one being "/":

U+043F                U+0430                 U+043F
0000 01|00 0011 1111  00|00 0100 0011 00|00  0000 0100 00|11 1111
      B|      D|       8|      E|      M|       A|      Q|      /|

This bug has been reported in:

https://sogo.nu/bugs/view.php?id=4308
https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32426
https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33722

and a part of the problem described in
https://sogo.nu/bugs/view.php?id=2318 must be caused by incorrect
mUTF7 encoding, too (and hence must have not been fixed completely
before):

And I see next messages when I try to open Cyrillic folder:
C[0x7fb2e23a77a0]: 5 select "&BBQEPgRBBEIEQwT/BEs-"
S[0x7fb2e21fb690]: 5 NO Invalid mailbox name: &BBQEPgRBBEIEQwT/BEs-

As can you see sogo sends wrong folder name:
received "&BBQEPgRBBEIEQwQ,BEs-"
sent "&BBQEPgRBBEIEQwT/BEs-"

The patch has been submitted as a pull request at github.

The same problem must also be a part of https://sogo.nu/bugs/view.php?id=2318 .

Perhaps, it was left unnoticed because in practice it appears only in the rare case when there is a non-Latin two-byte Unicode character which has all last 6 bits "1" at the third position in a folder name.
