Something like

telnet mailhost 143
. login user password
. list "" "Outlook*"

should list all mailboxes starting with "Outlook Today". If you see
your mailbox there, nnimap really really should display it to you.

Right. If the mailbox name was UTF7-encoded there is a chance nnimap
couldn't decode it properly, but you should see the unencoded mailbox
name in any case.

Nope, a bug. Fixed. Thanks.

Yup. The `K' is hardcoded in the buffer for all groups.

It shouldn't do that. I haven't tried manual logins for ages so
perhaps something has broke in this area. I'll try to use it to see if
I can reproduce it..
