Its a bug, the line 528 in imap.c should be:

Is:
snprintf (buf, sizeof (buf), "%s STATUS %s (MESSAGES RECENT)\r\n", seq,
Should be:
snprintf (buf, sizeof (buf), "%s STATUS \"%s\" (MESSAGES RECENT)\r\n", seq,

Probably doesn't support 8bit character names either, that would require
adding a utf7 encoder.

I'm not sure if there is a way you can pass the quotes in through the
config file...
