[issue46220] imaplib.py "select" mailbox names containing spaces.

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

I presume you mean the mailbox parameter of imaplib.IMAP.select().
https://docs.python.org/3/library/imaplib.html#imaplib.IMAP4.select

IMAP4.select(mailbox='INBOX', readonly=False)

    Select a mailbox. Returned data is the count of messages in mailbox (EXISTS response). The default mailbox is 'INBOX'. If the readonly flag is set, modifications to the mailbox are not allowed.

Enhancements only go into future releases.  Please make sure that the current main branch does not have the feature you are requesting. 

Neither our doc nor https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2060.html contain '2822', so you might be requesting something not supported.

There is no active maintainer for this module, so response from someone familiar with imaplib may take awhile.
