Oh, dear.  No idea.  It's so much easier for those of us using only
English...  I suspect, though, that most IMAP servers will probably work
with utf-8 anyway.

Yes, but you don't need postfix.  I pull my mail with fetchmail, which can
deliver either to SMTP (in my case masqmail) or an MDA.  Maildrop or
procmail should both be capable of dropping the mails into the appropriate
folders.  Now that I think of it, I should check that out, because I really
don't need an MTA any more...
