<para>
A mailbox name consists of a server and a mailbox path on this server.
The special name <literal>INBOX</literal> stands for the current users
personal mailbox. Mailbox names that contain international characters
besides those in the printable ASCII space have to be encoded width
<function>imap_utf7_encode</function>.
</para>
<para>
The server part, which is enclosed in '{' and '}', consists of the servers
name or ip address, an optional port (prefixed by ':'), and an optional
protocol specification (prefixed by '/').
</para>
<para>
The server part is mandatory in all mailbox
parameters.
</para>
<para>
All names which start with <literal>{</literal> are remote names, and are
in the form <literal>"{" remote_system_name [":" port] [flags] "}"
[mailbox_name]</literal> where:
