Marina, do you see this on a US system?
I can't reproduce this on a Ja XP.

i can not reproduce it on WinXP US though the reporter is on WinNT5.0 . I am
wondering what kind of IMAP server was used? Ales, could you please specify? Thanks.

I use W2k CZ (with Czech localization, Win-1250 codepage). Server is W2k with
Exchange and I use Outlook CZ. There is no problem use international characters
(>127) in folder names. But when I can use Exchange from home with Mozilla, in
folder tree is bad name (some >127 character is translated to &A...) and folder
cant be read. In Subscription dialog I see this folder duplicated.... first with
bad name and second with good name (!). I dont know IMAP standards and I dont
know if outlook+Exchange use Win1250 or ISO8859-2 for coding folder name :(

IMHO problem is in translation folder names.... Mozilla must not change folder
names, and must use for IMAP requests folder name without change.

My english, sorry....

Did you create the folder name from Outlook then access it from Mozilla?
Mozilla is not translating the foldername if the foldername is created properly. 
Is it possible for you to let us try from our side by using one of accounts at
your Exchange server? If that's possible, could you please email us the server
name, the account name and passwd? Thanks.

We change settings at IMAP interface and now ara names correct. But I find
another problems. I cant unsubscribe folder with intl characters. In subscribe
dialog I uncheck folder and press OK and if I open dialog again, folder is
checked :( If I delete intl named folder from Outlook, then I cant remove this
from Mozilla tree, after refresh in Subscribe dialog dropout US names, but intl
names stay.
I create acount for your testing: [e-mail] IMAP:mail.allstar.cz,
n:radiktest, p:mobil with some intl folders.

Thanks much for providing a testing account. I can reproduce the problems about
the folder display and folder subscribe. It could be an interoperability problem
with Exchange server.

For the folder unsubscrible problem, I can reproduce it with NS Messenger
Server. Ales, could you file a seperate bug for it? Thanks a lot.
