Dovecot configuration for the LIST command returns the names of the mailbox folders without enclosing them in double quotes.

This caused a Python error in extensions/webmail/imaputils.py on line 399.

Changing the regex on line 141 from

r'((?P.?)) "(?P.)" (?P[^"]*)'

r'((?P.?)) "(?P.)" "?(?P[^"]*)"?'

solved the issue.

My Dovecot configuration, as outputted by doveconf -a, is attached
