Local folder do not support JA folder naming on non ja systems (bug # 33624), 
when trying to create a folder with Japanese name or rename one to a JA name you  
get a duplicated account tree (on JA OS it works fine)

I think people who are using English system with Japanese IME does not usually 
use Japanese file/folder names. So I think this is not needed for this version.
In future, we may want to use UTF-7 (it's already used for IMAP).
Put M20 and wait for opinion/suggestion.

NOTE:
Using this patch, local foloder becomes UTF-7 filename.
So there is no compatibility aginst M16 release build...

My comments for the patch.
Please use NS_LITERAL_STRING instead of NS_ConvertASCIItoUCS2.
What will happen if the charset conversion fails? Does the user see gargae 
folder names or see nothing at all?

The other issues are:
Do we care PR1 summary files (I remember that i18n support was not perfect)?
Is that okay to show UTF-7 file names in the pref directory (we already do this 
for IMAP)?

Reassign to m_kato@ga2.so-net.ne.jp.
We think we can switch to UTF-7 since we already do this for IMAP. And the 
change is safe since UTF-7 only contains ASCII characters.
Kato san, please revise the patch. Then after it's reviewed, ask mozilla.org for 
a check in approval, I may help for check in.

We found more issue to think about. We need to take care of migrating 4.x 
mailbox file. Also some people may want to see the file names in Finder.
We need more info, reassign back to me.

I also would like to see folder name in Window Explorer if possible.

On the other hand, in Unicode based system, Mozilla could use UCS2 instead of
UTF-7 (if I understand correctly what you're suggesting to do in comments 6-8.)
In other words, what I like is opposite to the subject; folder name support is
OS dependent.  I think many people would oppose to this, but I think it isn't
such a big issue to separate Mozilla into Win95/98/ME and WinNT/2k/XP lines. 
Amaya, as I can see, is doing the same.

You don't have to write separate lines. Microsoft has released a redistributable
that allows unicode programs to work on 9x.
