Description

In Mule 2, it was possible to use a user name containing a @ by escaping it as %40 as shown in the configuration field.

In Mule 3, the log output shows the error I get. Using @ instead of %40 doesn't help.

It seems related to MULE-5084 (i.e. endpoint address gets unescaped too early and becomes an invalid URI).

Issue Links

relates to

Bug - A problem which impairs or prevents the functions of the product. MULE-5171 IMAP transport inbound endpoint doesn't work. Fails to retrieve email messages

  • Blocker - Blocks development and/or testing work, production could not run.
  • Closed - The issue is considered finished, the resolution is correct. Issues which are not closed can be reopened.

After several tests, I think the username is decode twice.
A palliative solution is to encode two times the '@' caracter in the attribute "user", so '@' => '%40' => '%25%34%30'

see example below to connect to a mailserver with a username like "foo@bar.fr"

<flow name="EmailDeliveryService">
<imaps:inbound-endpoint
connector-ref="Mailbox_Connector"

user="foo%25%34%30bar.fr"

password="password"
host="imap.mailserver.com"
port="993" >
</imaps:inbound-endpoint>
<echo-component />
</flow>

regards
