Please don't use non-ascii characters in password.

Can this still be filed as a bug, it should throw an error rather than just bailing out to a server error right?

Chris.

Hi Chris,

Just want to let you know, i fixed this bug and it will show you an error message like below if you use non-ascii character in password:

Error: Please do not use non-ascii character in password.

P.S. Actually, iRedAdmin-Pro allows non-ascii character in password, but Roundcube doesn't.

Thanks!

I'm going to be working on a migration script to transfer accounts from one debian box to another in the next few weeks to make migration easier, do you know of any similar efforts I should be aware of before I reinvent the wheel?

Thanks.

Chris.

Migrate from MySQL to MySQL? Just export mail accounts then import them on new server.
