Internally all mail is stored as UTF-8, there's no way to change this. The interfaces (POP3/IMAP/UAL) are responsible for converting this from UTF-8 to whatever can be displayed by the client.

You might want to try the following settings in general.cfg :

Code: Select all

BRW_MIME_TEXTFILE_CHARSETS="US-ASCII,WINDOWS-1251,ISO-8859-1,UTF-8"
UXO_MIME_TEXTFILE_CHARSETS="US-ASCII,WINDOWS-1251,ISO-8859-1,UTF-8"
ARCH_MIME_TEXTFILE_CHARSETS="US-ASCII,WINDOWS-1251,ISO-8859-1,UTF-8"


The default setting for all these is : "US-ASCII,ISO-8859-1,UTF-8"

Scalix will serve up text content in the first of these which it can convert to without loss of fidelity.
The different settings affect IMAP and POP3, Internet Gateway and Archive Service respectively.
