Just a thought: Have you (not especially John) considered
non-[A-Z]-letters in the short-form name?

Wider thought: Have you considered non-[A-Z]-letters in _every_ string
which is the result of user input or mail contents?

Sooner or later someone somewhere will have to consider such things
(if it should be widely usable outside USA), both in IMAP and IMSP.

The IMAP2BIS use of RFC-1342-type strings in the SEARCH command _is_ a
start.
