imap_utf7_encode — Converts ISO-8859-1 string to modified UTF-7 text
$data

This is needed to encode mailbox names that contain certain characters which are not in range of printable ASCII characters.
data
An ISO-8859-1 string.

Maccoy function's isn't reliable 'cause it doesn't follow the RFC 2060. It will work fine for most latin chars (which, in base64, will turn into "+A..."), but for other language it can make a big mess. If you're using an internationalizated system, try using the other presented options.
[#2] [2006-07-31 07:10:10]
This encoding will not work for cyrus imapservers and you might have problems with other mail clients.
Use mb_convert_encoding($str, "UTF7-IMAP","ISO-8859-15") instead.
ps: mb_convert_encoding() requires building php with --enable-mbstring option
[#3] [2005-11-02 03:01:07]
Note that php4 (4.4.0) will encode IMAP folders in a way that no other program will be able to decode them back.
$ php4 <<EOF
>
<?php
> echo "ENCODED: " . imap_utf7_encode("?") . "\\n";
> ?>
> EOF
ENCODED: &w5w-
Now try to decode the result string ("&w5w-") using e.g. javamail or python's imaplib, or if you don't like these languages - create an IMAP folder using PHP and try to display it in an IMAP client (mutt, thunderbird, outlook, whatever...)
