[issue34577] imaplib Cyrillic password

[Christian Heimes]

Christian Heimes <lists at cheimes.de> added the comment:

This is not a bug in Python's imaplib but a limitation of the LDAP protocol. It's not possible to enable UTF-8 mode before the session is authenticatd. LOGIN supports only ASCII user name and password. You have to use SASL PLAIN handshake with AUTHENTICATE, see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6855.html#page-5
