问题
I would like to find a note over IMAP using Python3 and it's IMAP extension. I try to search for a subject which contains special chars as in the example below. Is there a way I can encode the search string to be IMAP compatible?
self.connection.search(None, 'ALL', 'SUBJECT "büro"')
returns
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xfc' in position 10: ordinal not in range(128)
回答1:
You should pass UTF-8 encoded string as the search argument and also need to mention "CHARSET UTF-8" in the search query.
some thing like this UID SEARCH CHARSET utf-8 "search string". Here "search string" should be utf-8 encoded.
